Tell us a little bit about why breast cancer awareness is so important to you?
My grandmother is a warrior and a survivor of breast cancer. I am inspired by her strength. Just a conversation can lead somewhere, so it is important to spread awareness and get people talking.
What can someone do to also support breast cancer awareness?
Simply posting on your social media, or wearing some pink as a conversation starter. Also, you can donate money online to places such as the National Breast Cancer Coalition (breastcancerdeadline2020.org).
