🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but breast health matters ALL YEAR LONG.

Early detection saves lives. Know your body, know your family history, and don’t put off your mammogram. And if something doesn’t feel right, SPEAK UP and keep speaking up.

As a breast cancer survivor and advocate, I’ll continue using my voice to educate, encourage and bring awareness—especially in our Black communities, where breast cancer disparities are still very real.

I’m also proud to serve as an Ambassador for the American Cancer Society’s Voices of Black Women study, helping make sure our experiences are represented in research that can impact generations to come. 💕🎀

Schedule the mammogram. Do the self-check. Have the conversation. Share the information. You never know whose life it may save.

26 years old. Diagnosed with breast cancer. Let that sink in for a minute. 🎀
I was SO excited about this interview that, yes… I literally flipped out at the beginning. 😂🤸🏾‍♀️ But what we talked about is serious.
I had the opportunity to sit down with KSHB 41 news anchor KSHB Alyssa Jackson for her October breast cancer series, “Under the Ribbon.” Alyssa was diagnosed with breast cancer at just 26 years old, and now at 27, she’s sharing her journey and using her platform to bring awareness.
Her story is another reminder that being young does not make you immune to breast cancer.
As a breast cancer survivor and founder of Sisters Living Beyond The Ribbon these conversations are personal to me. This is why we continue talking about knowing your body, paying attention to changes and advocating for yourself when something doesn’t feel right.
I’m grateful to KSHB Alyssa Jackson for creating space to go under the ribbon and talk about the real people, experiences and stories behind breast cancer. 🎀
Breast Cancer Awareness Month may be in October, but this conversation is bigger than one month!
Share this with a woman who needs the reminder: know your body, pay attention to changes and advocate for yourself. 🎀

10 YEARS!! 🎀🙌🏾

The rain came…but so did THE CITY! 🌧️💕 And I’m still taking it all in.

Our 10th Annual Sisters Living Beyond The Ribbon 5K walk/run was a SUCCESS, and together we raised OVER $10,000! 🙌🏾🎀

THANK YOU to everyone who volunteered, sponsored, donated, participated, shared our posts and supported us in ANY way. And a special thank you to everybody who listened to me cry, complain, scream, moan and groan while we were putting this thing together! 😂😂 Y’all know who you are!

You showed up for us IN THE RAIN, and that means everything.

I’m dropping pictures and videos from the day, and trust me…there is PLENTY more to come! 🎀

🎀 OCTOBER 1ST — BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH 🎀

This month always hits a little different for me.

I’m a 14-year breast cancer survivor. 🙌🏾💕 And looking at these two pictures reminds me just how far this journey has come.

One photo is from one of our previous walks — just me, a survivor. The other is from Saturday at our 10th Annual Sisters Living Beyond The Ribbon 5K walk/run — surrounded by survivors, supporters, family, friends and a community that continues to show up. 🎀

14 years later, I’m still here. Still advocating. Still raising awareness. Still doing the work.

For me, Breast Cancer Awareness Month is bigger than wearing pink. I lived it. I survived it. And I’m committed to continuing the work.

This October, I’m celebrating 14 YEARS of survivorship and 10 YEARS of Sisters Living Beyond The Ribbon. 🙌🏾🎀

Early detection matters. Get your mammogram. Know your body. Advocate for yourself.
