“Tell the story of the mountain you climbed. Your words could become a page in someone else’s survival guide.” — Morgan Harper Nichols
In this intimate Baddie x 2 interview, Evette Yanez shares her powerful previvor journey, navigating family history, preventative surgery, and healing with grace, humor, and purpose.
What happens when you show up to the breast cancer world as a queer woman of color—and no one looks like you? In this powerful reflection, one Baddie shares her journey of reclaiming space, visibility, and Pride in a community that wasn’t built with her in mind. This is survivorship, reimagined. 🌈💖
Survivorship is a complex mix of gratitude, frustration, and the determination to reclaim as much of your life as possible.
I am committed to turning my pain into purpose—because no one should have to navigate these journeys alone.
As someone who relocated a year ago to my 8th state, I know how challenging it can be to find your people… your community in

Instead of joking about a “free boob job,” ask me how it feels…..
My advocacy is a way to honor my journey while helping others navigate their own.
