Facing Fear

Over the next two weeks, I’ve put together bits and pieces of the stories from guests on this show who have shared their experiences on being Black in this country. Their willingness and vulnerability brings me back to the main mission of this show which is to provide a platform for those who may not be able to tell their stories otherwise. And of course, to hear how they’ve faced and conquered fear along the way.

Most cancer merch is cheugy. There, I said it.

Thanks to the expertise from my designer, Mariah, an idea from my BFF, Maggie, and my determination to get shit done, BOOM, badass cancer merch was born.

Today I share the behind the scenes of why I created merch for this community I've unwillingly joined.

This is for me, and you... and for my cheerleaders. And for my loved ones worrying everyday. And my friends checking their phones for updates. And finally, for all the survivor sisters I've met, and those I have yet to meet.

If we're going to join the cancer community, we might as well look badass while doing so.
