We’re especially thrilled about our premiere documentary screening of “A Letter to My Sisters: the Erica Jo Robinson Story.”

Erica Jo Robinson’s life story is a testament to resilience and purpose. Shaped by a tapestry of diverse experiences, Erica has emerged as no ordinary woman but one chosen for a remarkable mission.

Her path to self-discovery has been marked by moments of both pride and regret, particularly during the darkest times when she learned to silence her emotions and listen to the quiet voice within. Erica believes that this inner voice holds the key to understanding the intricacies of our thoughts, a belief she gained during her courageous confrontations with fear and pain.

Surviving stage 4b adenocarcinoma, a type of cancer that starts in mucus-producing (glandular) cells. Erica faced adversity head-on. Astonishingly, even while grappling with both COVID and cancer simultaneously, she remained practically asymptomatic.

It was in these challenging moments that her relentless pursuit of authenticity reached new heights, revealing a commitment to her true self that was unwavering.

As a best-selling co-author in the HER Story Anthology book collection, Erica stands as an aspiring public speaker and a beacon of light. Her life’s lessons, learned through triumphs and tribulations, have not only trained and fortified her but have uniquely prepared her for the present moment.

Erica Jo Robinson’s narrative is a profound and inspiring one, set against the backdrop of her cancer diagnosis. Her story goes beyond imagination, embodying the strength found in vulnerability and the beauty that arises from confronting life’s challenges.

Our distinguished panel of speakers will address crucial topics, including healthcare disparities, Genetic Testing TRUTHS vs. MYTHS, Clinical Trial TRUTHS vs. MYTHS, Family Cancer and Medical History, and insights into the pre- and post-diagnosis journey.
