Some conversations stay with you long after the event ends. ๐Ÿ’—

Beyond the Pink Ribbon: Stories of Strength, Support & Survivorship was one of those conversations.

A heartfelt thank you to our panelists Kimmie Ellison , Deepika Kaushik , and UnbrokenCourage for sharing their knowledge, perspective, and compassion, and for helping us create space for honest conversations around breast cancer, survivorship, support, and the realities that often go beyond the diagnosis.

And a special thank you to Nila Sishodia Parmar of S&N Realty Group, Keller Williams Realty Austin, our event sponsor, for supporting this meaningful conversation and our community.

Most of all, thank you to everyone who showed up, listened, asked questions, shared experiences, and made the afternoon what it was.

This is how awareness becomes connection, and connection becomes support. ๐Ÿ’—

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month ๐Ÿ’—

Itโ€™s a reminder that breast health deserves attention all year, not just during October. Knowing whatโ€™s normal for you, noticing changes, and getting concerns checked can make a difference.

And thatโ€™s exactly why weโ€™re bringing our community together today for Beyond the Pink Ribbon: Stories of Strength, Support & Survivorship โ€” an afternoon centered on awareness, honest conversations, expert perspectives, and the experiences behind the diagnosis.
