🎀 Breast Cancer Awareness Month at I Slay 🎀

This month, we’re creating space for questions, conversations, and support around breast cancer, BRCA, menopause, and the experiences that can come with them.

We’re honored to have an I Slay community member and licensed therapist sharing their expertise with us. They have 10 years of experience as a therapist, an MA in Counseling from St. Edward’s University, and specialized training as a Girls Gone Strong Menopause Coaching Specialist.
They also bring lived experience to this work. After receiving their own BRCA2 diagnosis in 2020, they navigated preventative surgeries in 2022 and 2024. That experience informs the compassionate, informed support they provide to clients navigating similar experiences.

💗 Have a question?
Scan the QR code to submit your question anonymously. You can ask about breast cancer, BRCA, menopause, emotional support, or anything else you’ve been wondering about. No question is too big, too small, or too awkward.
You don’t have to navigate these conversations alone.

At I Slay, we believe everyone deserves access to information, support, and a community where they feel safe, seen, and heard.

Your questions will be answered by our community expert while protecting your anonymity.

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and at I Slay, we believe awareness should come with community, access to information, and a whole lot of compassion.

Every body deserves to feel safe, supported, and empowered to ask questions about their health. Breast cancer can affect people in many different ways, and having access to trustworthy information can help us feel more informed and prepared to advocate for ourselves and the people we love.

This month, we’re creating space for YOUR questions. We’ll have a breast cancer expert joining our community to answer questions you may have about breast cancer, prevention, screening, risk factors, treatment, or anything else you’ve been wondering about.

We’ll be sharing an anonymous question form where you can submit your questions without sharing your name. No question is too big, too small, or too awkward to ask. You bring the questions, and we’ll help connect you with reliable information.

Because community care means making sure everyone has the opportunity to learn, ask, advocate, and feel supported.

Keep an eye out for the anonymous question form and stay tuned throughout the month as we share answers from our expert!

Okayyy so maybe you don’t want to join a Board…
But you DO want to get more involved with I SLAY. 👀💕

THIS ONE IS FOR YOU.

We’re building the I SLAY Community Coalition — a group of dependable community members who want to volunteer a little of their time to help us bring our classes, activities and community experiences to life. ✨

Coalition members will work alongside an I SLAY Board Member to help facilitate monthly programming. That could look like helping with setup, checking people in, welcoming attendees, assisting during the class, grabbing a little content, helping with cleanup or just being an extra set of hands when we need it.

And because you’re helping us make the class happen…
💕 You get to attend the class you’re volunteering at FOR FREE!

You don’t need nonprofit experience.
You don’t need to be an expert.
And you don’t need to commit your entire calendar to us.

We’re looking for people who love what I SLAY stands for, want to support the plus-size community and—most importantly—can show up when they say they’re going to show up.

We’ll work with everyone’s schedules and share volunteer opportunities in advance so you can help when it works for you.

Sound like your kind of thing? 💕

We’re adding to the I SLAY Board! 💕✨

As I SLAY continues to grow, we’re looking for a few more people who want to help us build what comes next.
We’re currently looking for:

💕 Secretary — our organized person who can help keep our Board, meetings, records and action items on track.

📱 Social Media Coordinator — our creative friend who can help us capture, create and share the stories, events and people that make I SLAY what it is.

These are volunteer leadership positions, and you do NOT need previous nonprofit Board experience to apply.

What we care about most is finding people who believe in our mission, care about the plus-size community, communicate well, follow through on their commitments and genuinely want to contribute.

If you’ve been looking for a way to get more involved with I SLAY, this might be your sign. 👀💕
