What was the immediate aggressive treatment you underwent?

Oh, are you ready to buckle up for this very fast ride? So I was in New York City at the time working in media when I was diagnosed, so I relocated home to Houston for treatment and care … I sat down with my breast surgeon who happens to be a family friend, someone who I trust, a woman of color and I knew that she would take good care of me. So, the initial plan was 16 rounds or 15 rounds of chemotherapy to shrink the mass. It’s what’s called neo adjunct chemotherapy so it’s chemotherapy to shrink the mass before surgery.


What was the inspiration and motivation for SurviveHer?

As I mentioned, when COVID happened we were, I think, all in this space of making purposeful pivots in our careers, because we had to figure out what was going to work for us as we’re working from home, working remotely, etc. I still wanted to maintain my media work, but add to that my health journey and sharing my story, because I learned so much information. Within a year’s span, I wanted to share that with women to help them along their journey. God laid on my spirit to create a multimedia platform called SurviveHer.
