A heartfelt thank you to our amazing guest speakers, Dr. Tope Roberts and Dr.
Dapo Akinsipe, for joining The Oladele Foundation's "Cancer & Mental Health" session.
The conversation was powerful, informative, and deeply needed within our community. From discussing the emotional impact of cancer, caregiver support, resilience, and coping strategies, to addressing stigma and cultural barriers in the African community, your insights reminded us that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
We also appreciate the important reminder that early detection saves lives and that cancer is not a death sentence. Together, through education, support, and open conversations, we can continue to break the silence surrounding cancer and mental health.
Thank you for helping us create a safe and supportive space for healing, awareness, and hope.
