Supporting Black Women through Cancer

The journey through cancer is tough, but it can be even tougher for black women. While hair loss can be a challenging experience, it can also be transformative, and we can walk the journey with confidence, elegance, and grace.Cancer is a difficult road to travel, for any  women to face unique challenges in their fight against the disease. Often stereotyped as the "Strong Black Woman," these women may not ask for help, but that doesn't mean they don't need it.  we will explore ways to support Black women with cancer.

Black women are often seen as strong and independent, capable of handling anything.While this stereotype can be flattering, it can also be harmful, causing Black women to feel pressure to be strong and self-sufficient.We need to change the narrative and recognize that Black women with cancer are vulnerable and need support. 

Studies show that social support can improve health outcomes for cancer patients. By providing support, we can help improve a patient's chances of recovery.Black women are often assumed to be resilient and self-reliant, constantly fighting against adversity.The myth of the strong black woman perpetuates the belief that black women should handle adversity alone. This toxic idea can create anxiety, depression, and other mental health struggles for those trying to cope with cancer.

Embracing the Power of Yes: A Journey of Change and Growth

The concept of New Year's resolutions often comes to mind. Personally, I have never been a firm believer in setting resolutions, but I have come to realize that there are certain patterns in my life that I consistently strive to change. One such pattern is my desire to read more. Every year, I make a promise to myself that I will dedicate more time to reading, and yet, I often find myself falling short of this goal. It's a recurring cycle that I can't seem to break. Perhaps it's my Virgo nature that contributes to this cycle. As a Virgo, I am known for my meticulous planning and attention to detail. I always get a planner and jot down all the things I intend to do. It's almost comical how I am constantly "Virgoing" – a term I use to describe my tendency to overanalyze and overthink things.
