Medical student, Member of ILUMSA Senate Council, breast cancer advocate, volunteer, Henna artist and a fashion designer.
Empowering Breast Cancer Advocacy Webinar Highlights. I had the privilege of attending a compelling webinar organized by Human For Human Foundation, led by the inspirational Yusuf Fareedah Oyindamola. The session delved into the world of becoming a breast cancer advocate, shedding light on the diverse motivations that lead individuals to champion this cause. Key Takeaways: Motivations: Advocacy can stem from passion, personal experiences, or the loss of a loved one to breast cancer. Emphasis on Awareness: The speaker underscored the importance of creating awareness about causes, prevention, and symptoms. Regular Check-ups: A strong call to action to encourage women to prioritize their health through annual check-ups. Let's join hands to spread awareness, share knowledge about early symptoms, and empower one another to take charge of our health. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer. 💕🎗️ #BreastCancerAdvocacy #HealthAwareness #Empowerment #HumanForHumanFoundation

Thoughts on Cancer Survivors Month June is Cancer Survivors Month, a time to celebrate the incredible strength and resilience of cancer survivors around the world. Here are some practical ideas on how we can honor and support survivors this month: ♦ Share Survivors Stories: Use social media or local events to highlight and celebrate the journeys of cancer survivors. Personal stories can inspire and provide hope to others. ♦ Organize Community Events: Host events such as walkathons, fundraisers, or awareness campaigns to bring communities together in support of cancer survivors and research. ♦ Advocate for Policy Change: Engage in advocacy efforts to promote policies that support cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship care. Encourage survivors to share their experiences with policymakers. ♦ Provide Resources and Education: Offer workshops or seminars on cancer prevention, early detection, and survivorship care. Equip survivors and their families with valuable information and resources. ♦ Enhance Survivors Programs: Work with healthcare providers to develop or improve programs that address the unique needs of cancer patients at different stages of the cancer care continuum. ♦ Foster Survivors Networks: Create or join support groups and networks for survivors to share their experiences, offer mutual support, and advocate for their needs collectively. By implementing these ideas, we can make a significant impact in the lives of cancer survivors and advance the fight against cancer. Let's use this month to honor their courage and amplify their voices. #CancerSurvivorsMonth #Advocacy #CancerPrevention #SurvivorsVoices #CancerAwareness

Motivational Cancer Speaker❤️Holistic Health Coach❤️Diet & Nutritionist❤️Aromatherapist❤️Body Lymphatic Guasha
I am deeply honored to have invited as a speaker at a profoundly meaningful event. The focus of this event is closing the care gap in cancer awareness, a topic that is very close to my heart. As a cancer survivor and advocate, I've witnessed firsthand the challenges and disparities in cancer awareness, access to care, and support for those fighting this relentless battle. It's a cause I am incredibly passionate about, and I'm truly humbled by the opportunity to share my experiences and insights. Cancer knows no borders, and neither should our commitment to fighting it. There are no geographical barriers when it comes to sharing knowledge and experiences. We are all united by a common goal - to make a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer, regardless of where we call home. Our collective efforts in raising awareness and bridging the care gap are not just crucial; they are life-changing. Together, we can make a significant impact in the lives of those affected by cancer. I look forward to this event and the opportunity to connect with others who are dedicated to this vital cause. Let's work together to create a world where no one faces cancer alone, and where support and care are readily available to all. #CancerAwareness #CloseTheCareGap #Survivorship #advocacy #kuching #makeadifference #communitysupport #survivorstories
