Hello, survivors and supporters!

On Saturday, I had the privilege of attending a breast cancer gala for the Tatisa C. Joiner Foundation alongside my butterfly, sisters. It was an inspiring experience to see so many people come out together and support a breast, cancer awareness.

This gathering reminded me of the strength within our communities and the importance of sharing our stories. Our support uplifts those badly breast, cancer and fostering awareness and advocacy for change.

Let’s continue to shine the light on this cause, and powering one another, and making a difference together. Thank you for being part of this journey!

Breast Density: A key factor in breast cancer detection.
Did you know many women are unaware of the crucial role breast density plays and breast cancer, diagnosis and screenings.
What is breast density? Breast density is categorized into four types: A, B, C, or D. Each category has implementations that includes visibility, mammograms, and potential breast, cancer risk. Dense breast has less fatty tissue and more connective and glandular tissue, making cancer more challenging to spot in mammograms.
It’s important to know that mammograms are less effective and detecting cancer in dense breast, missing over 50% of cancer. Knowing your breast density can guide you and your healthcare provider to consider additional screenings for better detection.
This event was both educational and informative.
