H.O.S.S (Helping our sister's survive)

---

You have no idea how important it is for women (men) to connect. To exist in a safe space where vulnerability is promoted and honesty is welcomed. We dive down to the cellular level of who YOU say you are and what YOU feel you need. Equality is the epitome of access and at BCC we want to ensure that everyone has access to the blueprint of healing found in the stories from real people. We laugh, educate, cry, dance, celebrate and tell the truth about cancer and the cancerous lives that we at time unknowingly live. 

Studies have found that  breast cancer survivors whose eating patters include an abundance of  fruits, vegetables, whole grains,  fish and lean meats, i.e. chicken, tend to live longer than those who eat more refined sugars, fats, red meats and processed meats. 

The DSOP open kitchen concept invites chefs and nutritionist to wow us with delicious cuisine that are nutritious and easy to make. while stressing the importance of food being your medicine. 

"In order to teach me something, you must first be able to reach me."

From ages 8 to 80 - there is no better time to talk about breast cancer with your families then now! NOW is the time to talk about early detection, clinical trials, egg harvesting, preventive care and knowing your body. Now is the time to talk about implicit biases, systematic disparate behaviors, emotional trauma, life, self exams and mammograms because breast cancer is showing up in young women in their late teens. Early detection, often times through various screening options  can find cancers early, when they are treatable. 

"Your health history starts with you!"

Where we can't go physically, our "BRAVE BOXES" can. These boxes are packed with love and equipped with the tools needed to assist cancer fighters and survivors with their right now needs. The love inspired boxes are also used to remind individuals that they are not alone and that someone in this world is thinking of them. Box content varies based upon need.

Billions of dollars are given to the cure annually, but in real time people are dying and suffering for various reasons which include lack of access to resources, inferior treatment options, racial biases and and the unknown. 

The portion of the right now needs agenda of our of H.O.S.S. initiative is to provide those fighting cancer and their families with the much needed tools to assist as they move closer to survivorship. We want to preserve the integrity and dignity of those in need by creating an environment that promotes celebratory behavior and genuine support.
