Envision what freedom looks like for you! Many of our ancestors fought for us to remember our history and carry it with us. This Juneteenth we want to remind you that our past does not have to be our future. Find your FREEDOM because we represent many of their wildest dreams!

Some of the most important conversations happen too late.

After the diagnosis. After the diagnosis of someone we love. After we’ve already lost someone we wish we’d asked more questions.

On June 24th, we’re changing that.

I’m honored to co-host “A Family Affair” on behalf of ,  a real conversation about colorectal cancer, the family histories we don’t talk about, and the silence that costs us everything.

Because the truth is, colorectal cancer doesn’t just happen to one person. It moves through families. Through generations. Through the things we never ask at the dinner table.

“What was grandma’s diagnosis?” “Has anyone else in our family had this?” “Why is no one talking about this?”

These are the conversations our families can’t afford to avoid.

🗓️ Tuesday, June 24th ⏰ 6:30pm ET 💻 via Zoom 🔗 Register: colorofgi.org/events/famaffair-june26

Bring your mom. Bring your auntie. Bring your husband. Bring yourself. This conversation belongs to all of us. 🤎
