“Tell the story of the mountain you climbed. Your words could become a page in someone else’s survival guide.” — Morgan Harper Nichols
Preparing for surgery can be a scary and exciting time…whether this is happening at the beginning of your cancer diagnosis, the middle or the end, it’s one more mountain to climb, and climb you will!
Shame has been used to control the minds and bodies of Black, Indigenous, and all People of Color since colonization. It has been passed from one generation to another in many different ways…Life is too short and too difficult to carry around the extra baggage that comes from shame.
One thing to keep in mind is that protecting one’s peace is going to look different for everyone! What is important is that you find something that works for YOU.
Your journey is tailormade for you; every twist and turn was strategically placed to build endurance, stretch your faith and move you closer to your goal.

Women of color are constantly being ignored and underrepresented in all industries and business is no different. This September, For The Breast of Us, focused on #BaddiesinBusiness.
To the woman whose name isn’t mama, but so desperately wants to be called that beautiful word, Mother.
They are outspoken, intelligent, independent, unapologetically themselves, and strong… but what does “strong” mean anyway?
Baddies, we know and understand all too well the quick life changes that occur due to a breast cancer diagnosis. Our professional lives come to the forefront as we learn to navigate the workplace during and after active treatment, experience unexpected job loss or decreased wages, and transition to more fulfilling careers.
There is space for those who want children, those who want children and can’t have them, and those who unequivocally know that parenthood isn’t for them. What about those of us who are right in the middle?
Your voice, your story, and your support can make a difference. Join For the Breast of Us in our mission to empower, support, and advocate for women of color across the globe. Together, we can create a future where every woman has the resources and support she needs to overcome breast cancer.
