October is my birthday month and it’s also National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM). Breast Cancer -- these two words have invaded and affected the lives of many women along with their family and friends. I, too, heard these words earlier this year when my mother was diagnosed. Although I’ve been through many valleys in my life, this is a journey like none other. Whew! Is all that I can say!!
In spite of it all, I’m honored that my story, “The Power of a Mother’s Love” is in the "Gumbo for the Soul: Women of Honor," an anthology of savory literary offerings honoring women and supporting the fight against breast cancer – benefiting Sister's Network Inc., San Francisco Chapter (A non-profit African American Breast Cancer Survivorship Organization) that is being released in October. I’m blessed to have a story become a part of an anthology with so many talented contributors whereby the proceeds from sales will benefit such a worthy cause.
Attached is more information about the anthology. Preorder your copy today and spread the word!!!
