I am the founder of Taking Our Lives Back of Michigan.
After 21 years of being cancer free from Hodgkins Lymphoma, On February 12th, I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Triple Negative a form of breast cancer.

I had a lumpectomy in April and have completed two of four chemotherapy treatments. After chemotherapy, I will undergo 16 radiation treatments.

I’m still processing it, healing my mind by staying positive, and preparing for the road ahead. I decided to share this because if my story helps even one woman, it’s worth it.

Ladies please
- Do your self-breast exams- I found the lump in my right breast.
- Do not skip your mammograms.
- Pay attention to your body.
- Eat healthy and exercise.
- If something feels off or if you see any changes in your breast, GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR!

I don’t know exactly what this journey will
look like, but I do know this — I’m facing it with faith, strength, courage and the support of those who love me. I am blessed with an awesome village. ❤️❤️

PLEASE SHARE this with your family and friends as a reminder for women to schedule their annual mammogram and perform regular self-breast exams. Early detection saves lives. Listening to your body can save your life.

Black women in the U.S. have the highest breast cancer mortality rate of any racial/ethnic group, being 40% more likely to die from the disease than white women, despite a slightly lower overall incidence. They face higher rates of aggressive, triple-negative breast cancer and are more likely to be diagnosed at younger ages and later stages.
