Meet our Dubai Flash Flights recipients, Michelle and Tiffani!

Two moms, each with their own unique cancer journey, found an unforgettable friendship.

Michelle is a mom, a wife, and a full-time caretaker for her 31-year-old autistic son. A fitness professional with no family history of cancer, her Stage 1 breast cancer diagnosis turned her world upside down, but also revealed a strength she never knew she had.

Not long after her diagnosis, Michelle met Tiffany.

A fellow mom living with triple negative breast cancer, Tiffany became Michelle’s first “Breastie”—the one who truly got it. What started as a single meeting turned into a deep understanding, comfort, and an unbreakable bond.

Now, they are headed to Dubai together, celebrating resilience, friendship, and choosing joy in the midst of it all.

✨ 5 Years of Fight Through Flights! ✨🎉

What began out of our own grief and loss of a loved one has blossomed into a movement of healing, joy, and unforgettable adventures. 💗

In just 5 years, we’ve:
🌍 Provided experiences to 100 Black women impacted by Breast cancer from 20+ states. We’ve hit the road to find them, provided experiences in their homes, and let them experience nearby getaways.
✈️ Hosted leadership retreats, wellness getaways & solo journeys in 6 countries (with more coming soon 👀)
💪🏾 We have partnered with over 50 organizations to create epic experiences for the community.

We are so grateful to all of our supporters who have contributed or spread the word! This is more than travel and wellness; it’s community, empowerment, and transformation.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to the next 5 years and beyond—flying higher, farther, and together! 💫

It’s time to head to Cartagena!! 🇨🇴💃🏽And we’ve got a special edition! In honor of National Family Caregivers Month, we are providing one recipient an opportunity to bring their caregiver on a much needed getaway. We know just how important it is that your backbone also gets rest and recovery. Whether that’s your partner, sibling, parent, child, neighbor or friend, it’s time to get away!

This trip will take place first week of February, leaving from Washington, DC or Miami. Flights and accommodations will be provided by Fight Through Flights.

October brings a whirlwind of emotions for our community. It can be filled with joy and celebration yet it is definitely a time that can cause anxiety and fatigue. Amidst the pink walks in solidarity, meaningful advocacy discussions, and essential fundraising efforts, we also confront daunting statistics, including the disparities faced by Black women living with breast cancer. These statistics can be overwhelming, and the repeated focus on survival rates may be triggering.

As we enter the last week of this emotionally charged month, it's crucial to prioritize self-care, taking the time to recover and reflect on both the good and challenging aspects. That’s why we are excited to announce the relaunch of our self-care series, providing opportunities for relaxation and retreat.
Current Self-Care Series offers:

🧖🏾‍♀️ Spa day at G Spa at Foxwoods (Connecticut)
💄Melanated Beauty Bar Membership (Atlanta location only)
🧘🏾Nourish Your Soul Yoga Event at Noir Yoga (10/26 Brooklyn, NY)
💆🏾‍♀️ Japanese head spa treatment at Lola Rosa Head Spa (Maryland)

Breast cancer can change you emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally. Research has shown the stress of a breast cancer diagnosis may contribute to mental challenges such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and anxiety.

On this day, let us help you prioritize self-care with our self-care series! You are all deserving of a spa day. 🧖🏾‍♀️💗

Applications are still open. The first round of recipients will go out this weekend. We can't wait for you to prioritize yourself this month!
