On a quest to find 100 Black women survivors of this rare and aggressive form of breast cancer.
When you leave this world, what will your life be remembered for? What kind of mark will you leave on this world?
I believe that there has to be an energetic change at a fundamental level or our bodies will find their way back to the same loop that created the cancer to begin with.
How could someone ever look at me and find beauty when I could not find it inside or outside myself?
My decision to start on antidepressants was difficult, but it changed ME for the better. I saw it as part of my cancer treatment, and not something to shun, disbelieve, or be afraid of.
Being with other survivors filled a void in my life that I didn’t know I had. It was comforting to be with others who have experienced the same thing. I always appreciated my family for their support but they cannot truly understand what it’s like to have cancer.

There is a level of comfort and familiarity to having a doctor who can not only speak your language but understands your culture.
For some strange reason, putting myself first seems selfish. It wasn’t until my aunt passed that I realized I have to put myself first.
Breast cancer patients need to be their own advocates when it comes to their health care. But how do you do this when you’re feeling scared and overwhelmed?
