Today is the heavenly 😇birthday🎂 of our founder’s beautiful sister and entrepreneurial elementary educator, Yolonda aka Londa. She would have been 50 years old. Metastatic triple negative breast cancer stole Londa at the age of 44 from her only child-her son Jayden, family, friends, colleagues, and an adorable class of first-grade students before their school year ended in 2016. 🍎 A creative teacher ✏️like no other, Londa taught her family, friends, and every young life she poured into, beautiful lessons about life, love, hope, strength and resilience. Her legacy shines bright and fuels her sister LaTonya’s passion to provide mammograms to uninsured women and to support organizations that fund metastatic breast cancer research.🙏🏾💗

The Breast Talk Ever updated their business hours.

After finishing chemo, breast reconstruction surgeries, advocacy training and having gained a deeper understanding of the racial disparities and health inequities that exist in breast cancer, God gave me the crystal clear vision to create an experiential Mobile Mammogram Tour that would travel across the country to screen under and uninsured minority women 🤎🖤 in inner cities and rural communities. Plans were in motion to launch the tour last spring however COVID-19 brought it to a screeching halt.

Today with so much joy in my heart, and teary eyes, I’m at the Lotus House, a women’s homeless shelter here in Miami activating the FIRST stop of The Breast Talk Ever Mammogram Tour in collaboration with Florida Mobile Mammography and my Chapter, the Miami Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. My Sorors stepped up to the plate without hesitation to sponsor mammograms for 22 women today! Sisterhood! I cannot thank our former chapter President & survivor sister Kay Dawson and our current chapter President Stephanie Steele Nelson for supporting me and my God given vision. Breast cancer does not discriminate and early detection is key. I am grateful to God for this breath in my body and as long as I am breathing I will be on this mission to SAVE LIVES. Thank you all for your love. I will be sharing ways for you to support The Breast Talk Ever Mammogram Tour soon. ❤️💗🙏🏾🦋
