Zoom in, you’ll see some of your favorite advocates representing 💞💞 #Repost @kymwrites ・・・ #throwbacktuesday: I recently came across these Breast Reconstruction magazines on my bookshelf. This was a passion project of mine at my previous organization. I had the opportunity to launch the organization’s first patient publication in 2017 to raise awareness about breast reconstruction and highlight cancer survivors and racial disparities in breast cancer care. 🙌🏾 I LOVED working on this magazine and looked forward to publishing the special issue each October in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It was a privilege to spotlight these women and tell their stories of courage, strength, and resilience. 💪🏾🙏🏾 Here are a few of my favorite articles I worked on. 🎀💖 @forthebreastofus graced the cover of the 2021 issue. I was excited to highlight the founders’ efforts to amplify the experiences of marginalized voices through their inclusive online community. 💕 The article also showcased their beautiful When You See Us photo campaign to celebrate thrivers of color and the incredible work they are doing to help women of color to feel seen. 👏🏾🙌🏾 @forthebreastofus #FortheBreastofUs #breastcancer #BreastCancerBaddies
