Baddie Behavior: Episode 4 You Know What That Is? Growth!

What does Survivorship mean to you?

Do you like or hate the term?

Survivorship can look and feel different for everyone and surviving, in general, goes deeper than just cancer for Women of Color.

Tamika Hayes is an HR Professional who was diagnosed with Stage 1a ER/PR+ HeR2- invasive DCIS on September 16, 2021. Breast Cancer does not run in Tamika's family, so this came as a complete surprise! Thankfully, only surgery and radiation were needed. Tamika is currently on the "other side" of this diagnosis and is in the survivorship phase. Tamika hopes that her story can encourage women to be proactive advocates for their health and receive annual mammograms!

Tova Parker (@pretty.sic) was diagnosed with Stage III IDC TNBC in Dec 2019 and one month after her annual mammogram at 41. During her journey, she shared her story deeply and broadly on her blog, which you can access at www.prettysic.com. These days, she still uses her words to help others impacted by breast cancer, but she has transitioned from written word to spoken word. Today, she is an executive in the energy industry by day and an Ambassador for For the Breast Of Us and Tigerlily foundation, and she also sits on a patient advocacy board at MD Anderson by night. In her free time, Tova loves to travel and make memories with family and friends.
