Sharing why I made a decision to raise heart and stroke awareness…..
After my third surgery, in 2010, a friend asked me, “What do you plan to do with your second chance at life?” By that point, I had volunteered for more than a decade for various nonprofit groups throughout the Metro Atlanta area,
So, I made a decision to give back to by becoming a volunteer for the American Heart Association
I share my story of survival from heart valve replacement and three pacemaker surgeries , my high and low moments – plus provide heart health tips at health fairs and networking events throughout the community.
I also created a website, & health blog to provide a format for cardiac patients and their families to follow my heart journey and provide encouragement.
I can personally connect with cardiac patients and their families because I’m a survivor and they need to see and hear from a person who can relate to their health condition.
Sharing why I made a decision to promote lung cancer awareness…
To honor the life and legacy of my beautiful sister, Dr. Karen Leigh Bryant (a non-smoker) who was diagnosed in February of 2022 with stage 4 lung cancer and transitioned :April 30th 2022.
To Advocate for Early Detection, and bridge the gap between patient and doctor – Promoting Communication: One of the Keys to Recovery.
To Empower Lung Cancer Survivors: Target Group – Single Parent Households.
To connect with the Medical Community concerning the growing need to offer a Patient Guide for patients and their families, after receiving diagnosis (sharing community resources, including mental health).
To support medical research to include underserved communities, and highlight the ongoing need to address Cancer health disparities in America. Target Group: Racial/Ethnic Minorities
