BREAST HEALTH A surgeon weighs in on what everyone should know. As you see pink ribbons and fundraising 5Ks pop up in October, know the genuine purpose behind Breast Cancer Awareness month: More than 4 million women have a history of breast cancer in the U.S. This year, more than 310,000 women will be diagnosed with this pervasive disease, estimates the American Cancer Society. Approximately one in eight will develop invasive breast cancer during her lifetime. Early detection is the current best defense against this most commonly diagnosed cancer among women, hence why “awareness” is so important. “If we can find a tumor when it is small, the outcomes are so much better,” says Dr. Laurel Barnes, breast surgeon at Northside Breast Surgery-Atlanta. “Of the numerous medical improvements we’ve made since the 1960s, mammography and early detection are thought to be among the most important in decreasing mortality.” Test your own breast-health awareness with her advice, in the latest issue of Simply Buckhead Magazine out now!

HARD NEWS, SOFT TOUCH WSB’s Courtney Francisco wins awards while easing pain. Courtney Francisco brings empathy with her microphone and a camera operator as she chases breaking news from Athens to West Point for WSB-TV. “I’m not there to just get your story; I’m there to check on you,” Francisco says. “I’m not one of those reporters that shows up with a camera and says, ‘Will you talk to us about your pain?’” Her approach to Troup County tornado coverage in January 2023, her second month in Atlanta, helped WSB win a pair of Southeast Emmys in June. “That felt great, validating,” she says. “But I don’t want to overlook the fact that it’s because so many people lost so much.” No one was killed in Troup, but 24 died in 2013 when a tornado ravaged Moore, Oklahoma. Three years out of the University of Kentucky, Francisco was there. “There were dads digging their dead third-graders out, crying,” she says. Such stories take an emotional toll. Francisco says the TV industry is getting better at helping reporters cope with such stress. From her own experience, she touts the benefits of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, therapy. “We’re making change, and (reporting) is what I turned out to be good at,” Francisco says. “It’s such a fragile, important job.” A native of eastern Tennessee, Francisco followed a professor’s advice to launch her career in the starter markets of Texas in 2010. After three months of being told her voice was “too country” or “too flat,” she caught a break when a pool-side stranger in Houston offered to connect her to a reporter friend in Tyler, Texas. Francisco was hired to cover Waco as a “one-man band”— working alone with the camera...

MORE THAN LORE A BUCKHEAD COUPLE SOLIDIFIES THEIR STYLE AND STARTS THEIR FAMILY IN A CHASTAIN PARK TOWNHOME. Megan and Steve Lore moved into their 2,400- square-foot townhouse the day the world closed down. It was 2020; the global pandemic had just begun, and the Lores dove into home ownership, decorating their space as the world outside of its four walls stopped. Besides the obvious pandemic roadblock, life then was different than it is now. “We weren’t married, weren’t engaged and did not have a baby,” Megan says. At the time, their three-bedroom home was filled with builder-grade materials and generally lacked personality. Megan, a tastemaker and the owner of art and home decor company Match South, partnered with The Home Depot for a complete upgrade, documenting the experience with her nearly 70,000 Instagram followers. She’s a self-proclaimed color enthusiast, so punchy oranges, earthy greens and calming blues are now distributed throughout the home... Read more in the October issue of @SimplyBuckhead out now!
