I joined the board of Byrd Cancer Education and Advocacy Foundation because of my profound belief in the transformative power of grassroots community efforts, mirroring my journey as an International Activist and Founder of The ITAVFoundation. Witnessing the impact of collective action on marginalized populations, I am deeply committed to ensuring that every individual facing adversity receives the support and resources they need. By joining this board, I see an opportunity to extend this impact, aligning with the organization’s mission to connect and empower individuals battling cancer. Together, we can provide vital resources, instilling hope and strength in those who need it most.

When I think of The Byrd Foundation I think about a community of compassion, a force of empowerment, and a source of unwavering support for those on their cancer journey. Together, we stand as advocates, educators, and allies, united in the mission to make a tangible, positive impact in the lives of those affected by cancer.
