You’ve Got The Power to Take Charge of Your Health!! Let’s Beat Breast Cancer!!

In a recent Instagram post, I talked about the importance of self-care to help reduce the risk of Breast Cancer. I shared it because sometimes it feels like you’re a piece of property being passed from provider to provider on a conveyer belt for treatment while you’re on the journey.

Still Shoutin' Ova Here!!!

I was told by my physicians that because I was 37 and Black and the cancer was aggressive and had spread (6 of 17 lymph nodes) that the most they could guarantee me to live was 2-5 years max…… I got to thinking……I believe in a Creator God who MADE me!!! And, it was kind of hard for me to believe that He would determine my ethnicity and date of birth and make that a Risk Factor for disease and death!!!

Change Your Choices, Change Your Health!! Let's Beat Breast Cancer!!!

My primary doc warned me that I shouldn’t tell people that if they changed their choices that they could change their health……but now I didn’t just know this theoretically. I was living it experientially and it was Somethin’ To Shout About!!!

I'm STILL Shoutin' Ova Here!!!

It’s Minority Cancer Awareness Week and this past weekend, I had the privilege of spending some time with cancer survivor Ruby Lathon, PhD during the live stream of Lifestyle Medicine: The Science of Making Man Whole. As we talked, I realized that between the 2 of us Black women, we have 41 years of Cancer Survivorship.
