October is...
 

I know it is a little late in the month:eek: ..yet still,

Don't forget October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. SO, make sure to complete your monthly self-breast examinations for suspicous lumps, rashes, and discharge. Also don't forget to encourage your family and friends to do so also. Breast Cancer is a leading killer of all women but especially in our communities. We, as African American's don't always have the resources or the knowledge when it comes to health issues so that is one of the major reasons that our mortality rate is always higher than other ethnic groups.

I know through various programs, some women actually qualify for free screenings and examinations, yet they don't know.

So take care Sorors and Sisterfriends...and don't forget to remind a buddy!;)

October is AIDS Awarness Month. AIDS is a very important topic among African- Americans and African -American females in particular. It is the #1 Killer of black females between the ages of 18-42. Let's get together to fight AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases!

October is when I reflect on the 6 hours of pain that I endured (without an epideral or any pain-killers) and the hour and a half worth of pushing that I did in order to give birth to my daughter 8 years ago (to those women who have never given birth, the memory NEVER leaves you). AHHHH, SWEET, SWEET OCTOBER!!!! :) :) :)
