This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Sister Circle NC encourages everyone to educate, support, and spread awareness. Early detection can make a difference. 💗🎀

Breast cancer is not just one disease. There are several different types, and each can respond differently to treatment. That’s why knowing your body, getting recommended screenings, asking questions, and understanding your diagnosis are so important.

💗 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 💗

Sister Circle NC encourages every woman to make her breast health a priority. Early detection is imperative and can save lives.

🎀 Know your body and report changes.
🎀 Get recommended mammograms and screenings.
🎀 Know your family history and personal risk factors.
🎀 Talk with your healthcare provider about when screening is right for you.

Breast cancer detected at an earlier stage can mean more treatment options and better outcomes. Don’t wait until something feels wrong to prioritize your health.

This month, we honor the fighters, celebrate the survivors, remember those we have lost, and continue supporting everyone impacted by breast cancer.

Your health matters. Get screened. Encourage a sister to do the same. 🎀

🎗️ September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

This month, Sister Circle NC joins families and communities everywhere in raising awareness for childhood cancer. This cause has become especially close to our hearts.

Our youngest Sister Circle member, Rye, recently experienced the heartbreaking loss of an elementary school-aged friend who passed away Saturday morning after battling cancer. No child should have to face such a devastating disease, and no family should have to endure the pain of losing a child.

In her memory, and in honor of every child currently fighting, every survivor, and every family forever changed by childhood cancer, Sister Circle NC stands GOLD. 💛🎗️

Throughout the remainder of September, we encourage our community to learn more about childhood cancer, support affected families, offer a helping hand when possible, and most importantly, keep these precious children and their loved ones in your prayers.

💛 For the children still fighting.
🎗️ For the survivors.
🕊️ For the beautiful lives gone far too soon.
🙏🏽 For the families who carry their memories forever.

Sister Circle NC
Standing together. Supporting one another. Remembering every child. 💛

Black History Month reminds us that courage and change doesn’t always come from adults — sometimes it comes from children🩷

In 1960, Ruby Bridges, just six years old, walked into an all-white school escorted by U.S. marshals. She faced hatred, isolation, and fear simply because she believed in her right to an equal education. Her bravery became a defining moment in Black history and a powerful reminder that education has always been a battleground for equity.

Years later, that same spirit showed up right here at home.

Our Little Sister Circle helper/volunteer Rye’Lea (7yrs old) stood in a packed, standing-room-only auditorium and requested to speak before the Craven County Board of Education. With confidence beyond her years, she advocated against the proposed closure of J.T. Barber — speaking not just for herself, but for her classmates, her school, and her community.

Different generations. Different challenges.
But the same legacy.

Black history is not only what we read in textbooks ….it is what we witness when our children use their voices to demand fairness, access, and dignity. From Ruby Bridges to Rye’Lea, the fight for educational equity continues, carried forward by our youth who refuse to be silent.

This is Black History🖤❤️💚
