Last night at the Town of Farmville Town Hall Meeting Mayor Alex Joyner honored Healthy Girls Project and the work we do to help underserved women and communities become healthier through breast cancer and chronic disease prevention. Mayor Joyner also made October 2026 National Breast Cancer Awareness Month right here is Farmville, NC. How exciting is that! Truthfully, I was honored for Healthy Girls Project to be recognized (...as I reflect on a previous conversation with my big sister Tyreasa Washington ❤️🤍) and participate in this amazing opportunity alongside some of our team to include board members, assistant, volunteers, and supporters.

Thank each of you ladies and the little one for being there to show support for Healthy Girls Project. As we say in Delta, "many hands make light work." I could not execute this mission without your help! No matter your contribution time, supplies, bras, food, drinks, or money; I appreciate it from the very deepest part of my heart! Mayor Joyner, Commissioners, and Town of Farmville thanks for seeing us and the much needed work we do in this community. I can confidently say, Healthy Girls Project has the Town of Farmville's back when it comes to breast cancer and chronic disease prevention among underserved women through education, awareness, and screening. Hope you will continue to support and have ours. Healthy Girls Project is committed to empowering women to take responsibility for their own health, gain relevant knowledge to become their biggest healthcare advocate, and participate in healthcare screenings to decrease their risk of breast cancer and chronic disease. The night was coming to an end, as I was driving Ryleigh home, she said Dee Dee, take me to the Mayor's house, I wanna see the monsters...I said, you're not afraid, she said no. She cutely laughs, points, and says look as we ride by 🤭
