For the Breast of Us may have started as a place for women of color affected by breast cancer to connect and share stories about their experiences, but one year after launching it’s become so much more than that.
Typically when we think of spring, we think of pastels and light colors, rain showers and sunflowers. And we will not let any pandemic disrupt our anticipation of summertime fun in the sun!
We’ve redesigned our website and added new features to continue to build bridges and increase the representation of women of color in the larger breast cancer community.
Overall, skin care ensures naturally beautiful and radiant skin.
Day in and day out, putting on this facade with my family and friends was wearing me thin.
I find myself constantly thinking of Covid-19. I’m neither worried nor feel safe. I’m down and trying to figure out how I can be productive while keeping my family and community safe
Throughout this experience I found myself. My diagnosis closed a chapter in my life, but my current journey of faith and confidence in myself is open!
Caregivers are real life superheroes who just don’t wear capes. They trade their capes for silent tears, sleepless nights and mental fatigue.
It didn’t matter I was lonely, scared, broken and confused. I had to do the work if I wanted to get better, so I did just that! Cancer, one-sided relationships, burdens and unhealthy habits have been removed from my life. I have stepped into new business ventures and put that well used ambition and tenacity into motion.
The word “normal” is no longer a word I use because life after breast cancer will never feel “normal.” I am forever changed and I prefer “okay.”
