Speaker 3 (00:34):
Broadcast live from the Nago Law Firm Studios. Welcome to
the ball Alert Show. I go by the name Ferrari Sent.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
And I go by the name you know BT Nicole
Michel in the building. Welcome to the show, I mean,
welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Now you are also on the radio stop By.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
You did the nicest poll on the beat.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Now you are doing our podcast and you.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
Have an interesting story.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Yes I'll allow you to elaborate. But you are a
breast cancer survivor. Yes, the details as you shared.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
On the radio were very like intricate.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Could you do you mind sharing again?
Speaker 6 (01:06):
Yeah, like how I found for the first time views.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, I have no problem. So I was twenty six
when I found my tumor. It was a complete accident.
It was no different, no simple than just coming out
of the shower and having too much lotion on my
hands and not knowing where else to rub myself, so
I rubbed my titties and I ended up finding something.
(01:30):
My gut was telling me to get it checked out,
not because any textbook or doctor has ever told me, hey,
you're twenty six, you should be ahead of this, just
because something foreign was in my body. And so I
did a breast ultrasound and something definitely was there, and
we decided to do a lumpectomy just because lump, back
(01:51):
to me, is when they just remove a mass. So
I removed this mass out of my body, and then
the pathology came back. I stayed on breast cancer, and
then two weeks later I did a double misseectomy, which
is when they remove both breasts, but I also had
to remove the right nipple because the cancer was right
behind the nipple. And if I did the double misseectomy
(02:14):
and kept the nipple, then it would have defeated the
purpose because you could still have cancer in the nipple.
And then after that I got an infection. I thought
I was invincible. I thought a double misseectomy is like
bad enough, how much worse can it get than this?
But the fine print when you sign, it's definitely a risk,
especially when you have such a major surgery. And I
(02:36):
think that one of the biggest misconceptions is that people
think that it's a breast augmentation, like, oh, you can
just have a free boob job, But it's not that
at all. A reconstruction postmasectomy is a whole different surgery.
It's a different pricing, it's a different recovery. It's just
completely different than what most people would think.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Buy insurance.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
No, so insurance covered my double misseect, but the reconstruction
after they didn't cover, because it's now considered cosmetic and elective.
But by the grace of God, Chloe Kardashian ended up
paying for my surgeries because she's.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
What we called that she did.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
She did. She still doesn't know this information, but she had.
My last surgery was May of twenty nineteen, and she
had posted my business that Monday night and her tag
is like so small in the corner, like a monochromatic
type of tag. But her fans, they are loyal and
they found me. And the amount of sales I got
(03:36):
in that twenty four hours covered my last surgery, the
surgery before, and the surgery before, so I don't have
stressed about it anymore.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Yeah, the how what is your business?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I have a crystal business.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
So crystal like stones, yes.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Which is what I did you open your gift yet? Okay?
But so I have a crystal business. And I was
inspired by the pet therapy that I had during my recovery.
That was like my favorite part of being in the
hospital was when they had the animals come through because
I'm a huge animal lover. And so I created a
pet water bottle that has a crystal inside. It's made
(04:14):
out of glass and the crystal. You can put it
in the refrigerator to keep the water cool during the
hot seasons and there's a snackjar that can snap back into
the bowl. But that wasn't the product that she had posted.
I had my first crystal business pre pandemic, and she
had posted that and she sold me out. And I
(04:35):
remember going into my last surgery asking my doctor like,
am I going to be able to move my arms tomorrow?
Because I have a lot of orders to get out
And ended up being Mother's Day weekend, so like you know,
when you check out, there's like a note section, like
all the notes that I'm reading is like happy Mother's Day,
Granny and happy Mother's Dale was like I have to
get these out, like there's no way people are counting
on me. This is the Mother's Day gift, right, And
(04:56):
so I came out of surgery with drains hanging out,
everything in one by one, making each arrangement for everyone.
But she definitely blessed me and covered the.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Seris that's fire.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, And I want to talk to her soon so
I could tell her because she has no idea.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Well she's gonna have We're gonna we have proof now
now you know.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
We were also talking all Ice and polling the beat
for RMBT two to seven Atlanta, Georgia.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
By the way, now, well my wife will get her.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
What's it called mammogran They smush it down and she
was like, oh my god, it's so painful. You were saying,
it's a different way that they checked your breast.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, I did a breast ultrasound. A breast mammogram isn't
going to work for a woman in the early twenties
because your breasts are too dense. So a breast ultrasound
would be my first recommendation. A second, she.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Just like a regular ultrasounding.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, no difference. Yeah, same jelly, same machine, just on
your titty and not your belly. No, it's painless, it's easy.
And then the most accurate would be a breast MRI,
which is when you go into the machine, except for
this time you're gonna be laying face down and there's
a little opening where your boobies just hang down and
they can check boobies. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Now, after the surgery, they removed your breast. Yeah, now
you had to go get new breasts. That's the cosmetic part. Yes,
and that's what Chloe tagging you in the sales helps
pay for. Yeah, now, how was that because don't they
have to have specific guidelines because you have surgery or
(06:37):
was it just a normal procedure.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So when I did my double missectomy the way that
City of Hope does it, I had the breast oncologist
and a plastic surgeon in the o R.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
I had to sign off on everything.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Right, yeah, ok, wait, what do you mean.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Like, do you have to go get checked out because
it's that you're getting it's like a.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Surgical I had to sign off. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
for sure had to sign off. But I had a
breast oncologist and a plastic surgeon in the OAR at
the same time. So when I woke up, I never
saw myself flat chested. I think that would have been
more traumatizing for me, just because I had such large
natural bus to begin with, and that was my biggest
fear of going into surgeries, like what am I going
(07:14):
to look like when I wake up? But I had
implants in so it wasn't too much of a shock.
The shock came after the double missect me when I
had the infection and they had to put a smaller
implant on the right side. The left implant had already
like dropped into place. I literally had one on my
collarbone and one down here.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Oh wow yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
And that's when I looked in the mirror and I
was like, Yo, this is crazy. I've never seen a human,
a female body look like this, And there was no
one I could really ask, like, Hey, what did yours
look like, and how did you get over that mental challenge?
Because it is, like I said earlier on the radio,
it's half the battle is mental. So that was the
(07:56):
hardest part. But then I did more surgeries and then
I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Now, So how'd your story get out and how'd you
be able to come, you know, move around and tell
your story.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I did Big Boys show in twenty twenty. Shout out
the Big Boy. I love Big Boy. Shout out big Boy.
He's my guy. I love him. Then I did his
show again in twenty three, and then I'm gonna do
his show again after you guys say, you guys are
my first stop on this little on this little tour.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah, now you gotta come hang out with us because
you got to stay a little longe.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
We've got group chat now, Yeah, you got a group chat.

Speaker 7 (15:01):
It's normally like people want you to do something or

Speaker 5 (15:05):
When they reach him, then they call.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Me okay, I don't don't.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
I don't like I'm not a phone god, like if
I could be like Ed sharing and he shared the story,
Well he emails.

He said he hasn't had a phone number in ten years.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
Really yeah, Ed Sharon said that he said the only
way that people can reach him is through email.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
So what he does is he.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
Takes time out of his day and he responds to
all of his emails and then he go back to
living his life.

Speaker 5 (15:41):
When you're in a relationship, you're in someone's skin.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Okay, I told you especially this is a guy after cancer.
I'm attached to you now. Yeah, and if you don't answer,
I'll walk next door.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Fellas you were telling us your past relationship, he used
to be your neighbor.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, okay, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
That's crazy. He was hunching all your neighbor.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Yeah, to ask Wow, it's like, hey, was he the
boy next door?
Speaker 5 (16:09):
I was?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I was the girl next door because because.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
He kept the house next door, it's a.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
House, so he would so he was pursuing you. Well.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
The thing is is like I was friends with his
mom for a really long time, and I used to
for a year, like a year, year and a half maybe,
and like I used to cry to her like I'm
not going to date anyone, Like I got scars, I
got got a nipple tattoo, Like who's gonna want to
date me? And then I met her son and her
his son was confused because he kept hearing about like
(16:39):
the girl next door who had just beat cancer and
then when we met, he was thrown off guard because
usually when people hear of someone having cancer, they think, like,
you're bald, do you have no hair or lashes or
browser or whatever. You just look sick, And I didn't
look sick when he met me, and so he was
just as confused as I was. I was like, as
(17:00):
soon as I met him, I was like, this guy
cannot live next door, Like this is gonna be a problem.
I knew, yeah, but it worked out. It was fine
because all my girlfriends used to like clown me and
be like, you got to leave the house. How are
you going to meet someone? And I'm like, well, he
might move next door. And he did, and he did,
and it was the best and the worst situation. That's crazy, Yeah,
(17:23):
just because worse in the sense like you can't ever
really have space from each other, like you're waking up
to the same sounds. You're right next to each other.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
So where you at next door?
Speaker 6 (17:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Yeah, well, listen, we appreciate you spendusal time with us
on ball Alert down.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Do you have any other questions for me? Do I'm
going to drop a teer? No?
Speaker 3 (17:47):
No, no, When you drop the teer on the radio,
I feel bad and I was about to drop a tier.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
I do not want to drop one on camera.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Ah, it's okay.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Now, do you participate a lot before we go? Do
you participate a lot in any breast cancer walks or
anything like that?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
No?
Speaker 5 (18:03):
No, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I used to as a kid when my mom had
breast cancer. My mom had breast cancer too, but we
don't have the gene. We used to do the susan
Ci come and walk. But I feel like, as an adult,
can I keep it real?
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Real?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Okay? I feel like all of these organizations that say,
like donate, donate, find a cure for cancer, I feel
like there is a cure for cancer, but no one's
ever going to say anything because there's too much money
behind it. Yeah. So they finally had a cure for HIV.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
You saw that or we will see?
Speaker 5 (18:37):
No, No, it's out. It's literally a cure.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Is that CBS?
Speaker 5 (18:42):
No?
Speaker 6 (18:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
I just saw that. It's a final cure.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah. But I always rather than donating money for cancer
research because I feel like that's been around for one
hundred years, and how is there not a public cure?
Speaker 5 (18:58):
It can't be money in the vacsin but it's a
think about this.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
The vaccine was created within a year. They are diseases
that has been around for one hundred years.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
People, mind, we have vaccines in US that are required
that people died from back in the day, though like
hundreds of years ago.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
You're like chicken pox and.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Stuff like all the other stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
People just get really sick from those little small vaccines
that we have now, thats standard.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
But the COVID vaccination was created within a year, It's
all I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah, I feel like if I were to raise money,
I would rather pay that money forward for a patient
to have reconstructive surgery. That way I could see where
the money goes. And like, I know that if I
wasn't in a position where I could financially afford my
plastic surgeon, I wouldn't look how I looked today. And
I don't think that it's fair that women don't have
the same opportunity that I did. And insurance, like we
(19:51):
talked about earlier, they don't cover these surgeries a lot
of the times because it's now considered elective and cosmetics.
So I would like to pay it forward by paying
for a patient surgery instead of just throwing it at
an organization where somebody's making money off of it, and
we still got no care.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Somebody's making money.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
They have over hundreds of millions of dollars of cancer research.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Yes, where's the care?
Speaker 5 (20:17):
How many people have we lost to cancer that we're famous?
Not famous?
Speaker 7 (20:21):
And then the crazy thing about it is like even
when you even in Atlanta, like you look, you see
billboard signs about HIV and all this stuff, and I'm like,
y'all spending money on billboards, where's where's the cure? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Here for HIV set we gonna see.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, that's chat GVT.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Don't see you don't even got chat GBT.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
I got Google.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yeah. See see.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
We appreciate you spend some time with us having when
we go, one last question mental health checking and one
time for Keisha.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
How do you keep your mental health strong? What do
you do if you're having a bad day? What do
you do?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I spend a lot of time with thin animals. I
really I'm only down to two now.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
But a dog and a cat, A dog and a cat,
they get along, Yes.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
They love each other. My cat actually just got diagnosed
with them fulmless. I'm gonna have to put her down. Yeah,
I know they want they wanted me to do it.
Before I came out to Atlanta, I was like, I
cannot do that because I'll be bawling my eyes out
over that. So I rely a lot on my family,
my sister, my girlfriends, and then if it gets really bad,
(21:32):
then I'm calling my therapist and be like, Okay, I
need to tap in with you really quick. But I
just surround myself that with people that love and support me.
And sometimes something as simple as just going outside and
like going for a walk and just having some sun
will help you feel better. Journal journaling is helpful. Listening
to music if you need to be in your depressed
(21:54):
girl era and listen to sad songs, listen to it.
Some days, I'll eat a lot if I need to
eat my feelings away. But you know, whatever makes you
feel better, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
Give me there you go, Nicole, appreciate you pulling.
Speaker 1 (22:11):

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Broadcast live from the Nago Law Firm Studios. Welcome to
the ball Alert Show. I go by the name Ferrari Sent.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
And I go by the name you know BT Nicole
Michel in the building. Welcome to the show, I mean,
welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Now you are also on the radio stop By.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
You did the nicest poll on the beat.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Now you are doing our podcast and you.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
Have an interesting story.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Yes I'll allow you to elaborate. But you are a
breast cancer survivor. Yes, the details as you shared.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
On the radio were very like intricate.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Could you do you mind sharing again?
Speaker 6 (01:06):
Yeah, like how I found for the first time views.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, I have no problem. So I was twenty six
when I found my tumor. It was a complete accident.
It was no different, no simple than just coming out
of the shower and having too much lotion on my
hands and not knowing where else to rub myself, so
I rubbed my titties and I ended up finding something.
(01:30):
My gut was telling me to get it checked out,
not because any textbook or doctor has ever told me, hey,
you're twenty six, you should be ahead of this, just
because something foreign was in my body. And so I
did a breast ultrasound and something definitely was there, and
we decided to do a lumpectomy just because lump, back
(01:51):
to me, is when they just remove a mass. So
I removed this mass out of my body, and then
the pathology came back. I stayed on breast cancer, and
then two weeks later I did a double misseectomy, which
is when they remove both breasts, but I also had
to remove the right nipple because the cancer was right
behind the nipple. And if I did the double misseectomy
(02:14):
and kept the nipple, then it would have defeated the
purpose because you could still have cancer in the nipple.
And then after that I got an infection. I thought
I was invincible. I thought a double misseectomy is like
bad enough, how much worse can it get than this?
But the fine print when you sign, it's definitely a risk,
especially when you have such a major surgery. And I
(02:36):
think that one of the biggest misconceptions is that people
think that it's a breast augmentation, like, oh, you can
just have a free boob job, But it's not that
at all. A reconstruction postmasectomy is a whole different surgery.
It's a different pricing, it's a different recovery. It's just
completely different than what most people would think.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Buy insurance.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
No, so insurance covered my double misseect, but the reconstruction
after they didn't cover, because it's now considered cosmetic and elective.
But by the grace of God, Chloe Kardashian ended up
paying for my surgeries because she's.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
What we called that she did.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
She did. She still doesn't know this information, but she had.
My last surgery was May of twenty nineteen, and she
had posted my business that Monday night and her tag
is like so small in the corner, like a monochromatic
type of tag. But her fans, they are loyal and
they found me. And the amount of sales I got
(03:36):
in that twenty four hours covered my last surgery, the
surgery before, and the surgery before, so I don't have
stressed about it anymore.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Yeah, the how what is your business?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I have a crystal business.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
So crystal like stones, yes.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Which is what I did you open your gift yet? Okay?
But so I have a crystal business. And I was
inspired by the pet therapy that I had during my recovery.
That was like my favorite part of being in the
hospital was when they had the animals come through because
I'm a huge animal lover. And so I created a
pet water bottle that has a crystal inside. It's made
(04:14):
out of glass and the crystal. You can put it
in the refrigerator to keep the water cool during the
hot seasons and there's a snackjar that can snap back into
the bowl. But that wasn't the product that she had posted.
I had my first crystal business pre pandemic, and she
had posted that and she sold me out. And I
(04:35):
remember going into my last surgery asking my doctor like,
am I going to be able to move my arms tomorrow?
Because I have a lot of orders to get out
And ended up being Mother's Day weekend, so like you know,
when you check out, there's like a note section, like
all the notes that I'm reading is like happy Mother's Day,
Granny and happy Mother's Dale was like I have to
get these out, like there's no way people are counting
on me. This is the Mother's Day gift, right, And
(04:56):
so I came out of surgery with drains hanging out,
everything in one by one, making each arrangement for everyone.
But she definitely blessed me and covered the.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Seris that's fire.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, And I want to talk to her soon so
I could tell her because she has no idea.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Well she's gonna have We're gonna we have proof now
now you know.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
We were also talking all Ice and polling the beat
for RMBT two to seven Atlanta, Georgia.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
By the way, now, well my wife will get her.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
What's it called mammogran They smush it down and she
was like, oh my god, it's so painful. You were saying,
it's a different way that they checked your breast.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, I did a breast ultrasound. A breast mammogram isn't
going to work for a woman in the early twenties
because your breasts are too dense. So a breast ultrasound
would be my first recommendation. A second, she.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Just like a regular ultrasounding.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, no difference. Yeah, same jelly, same machine, just on
your titty and not your belly. No, it's painless, it's easy.
And then the most accurate would be a breast MRI,
which is when you go into the machine, except for
this time you're gonna be laying face down and there's
a little opening where your boobies just hang down and
they can check boobies. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Now, after the surgery, they removed your breast. Yeah, now
you had to go get new breasts. That's the cosmetic part. Yes,
and that's what Chloe tagging you in the sales helps
pay for. Yeah, now, how was that because don't they
have to have specific guidelines because you have surgery or
(06:37):
was it just a normal procedure.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So when I did my double missectomy the way that
City of Hope does it, I had the breast oncologist
and a plastic surgeon in the o R.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
I had to sign off on everything.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Right, yeah, ok, wait, what do you mean.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Like, do you have to go get checked out because
it's that you're getting it's like a.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Surgical I had to sign off. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
for sure had to sign off. But I had a
breast oncologist and a plastic surgeon in the OAR at
the same time. So when I woke up, I never
saw myself flat chested. I think that would have been
more traumatizing for me, just because I had such large
natural bus to begin with, and that was my biggest
fear of going into surgeries, like what am I going
(07:14):
to look like when I wake up? But I had
implants in so it wasn't too much of a shock.
The shock came after the double missect me when I
had the infection and they had to put a smaller
implant on the right side. The left implant had already
like dropped into place. I literally had one on my
collarbone and one down here.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Oh wow yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
And that's when I looked in the mirror and I
was like, Yo, this is crazy. I've never seen a human,
a female body look like this, And there was no
one I could really ask, like, Hey, what did yours
look like, and how did you get over that mental challenge?
Because it is, like I said earlier on the radio,
it's half the battle is mental. So that was the
(07:56):
hardest part. But then I did more surgeries and then
I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Now, So how'd your story get out and how'd you
be able to come, you know, move around and tell
your story.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I did Big Boys show in twenty twenty. Shout out
the Big Boy. I love Big Boy. Shout out big Boy.
He's my guy. I love him. Then I did his
show again in twenty three, and then I'm gonna do
his show again after you guys say, you guys are
my first stop on this little on this little tour.

mom for a really long time, and I used to
for a year, like a year, year and a half maybe,
and like I used to cry to her like I'm
not going to date anyone, Like I got scars, I
got got a nipple tattoo, Like who's gonna want to
date me? And then I met her son and her
his son was confused because he kept hearing about like
(16:39):
the girl next door who had just beat cancer and
then when we met, he was thrown off guard because
usually when people hear of someone having cancer, they think, like,
you're bald, do you have no hair or lashes or
browser or whatever. You just look sick, And I didn't
look sick when he met me, and so he was
just as confused as I was. I was like, as
(17:00):
soon as I met him, I was like, this guy
cannot live next door, Like this is gonna be a problem.
I knew, yeah, but it worked out. It was fine
because all my girlfriends used to like clown me and
be like, you got to leave the house. How are
you going to meet someone? And I'm like, well, he
might move next door. And he did, and he did,
and it was the best and the worst situation. That's crazy, Yeah,
(17:23):
just because worse in the sense like you can't ever
really have space from each other, like you're waking up
to the same sounds. You're right next to each other.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
So where you at next door?
Speaker 6 (17:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Yeah, well, listen, we appreciate you spendusal time with us
on ball Alert down.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Do you have any other questions for me? Do I'm
going to drop a teer? No?
Speaker 3 (17:47):
No, no, When you drop the teer on the radio,
I feel bad and I was about to drop a tier.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
I do not want to drop one on camera.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Ah, it's okay.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Now, do you participate a lot before we go? Do
you participate a lot in any breast cancer walks or
anything like that?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
No?
Speaker 5 (18:03):
No, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I used to as a kid when my mom had
breast cancer. My mom had breast cancer too, but we
don't have the gene. We used to do the susan
Ci come and walk. But I feel like, as an adult,
can I keep it real?
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Real?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Okay? I feel like all of these organizations that say,
like donate, donate, find a cure for cancer, I feel
like there is a cure for cancer, but no one's
ever going to say anything because there's too much money
behind it. Yeah. So they finally had a cure for HIV.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
You saw that or we will see?
Speaker 5 (18:37):
No, No, it's out. It's literally a cure.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Is that CBS?
Speaker 5 (18:42):
No?
Speaker 6 (18:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
I just saw that. It's a final cure.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah. But I always rather than donating money for cancer
research because I feel like that's been around for one
hundred years, and how is there not a public cure?
Speaker 5 (18:58):
It can't be money in the vacsin but it's a
think about this.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
The vaccine was created within a year. They are diseases
that has been around for one hundred years.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
People, mind, we have vaccines in US that are required
that people died from back in the day, though like
hundreds of years ago.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
You're like chicken pox and.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Stuff like all the other stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
People just get really sick from those little small vaccines
that we have now, thats standard.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
But the COVID vaccination was created within a year, It's
all I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah, I feel like if I were to raise money,
I would rather pay that money forward for a patient
to have reconstructive surgery. That way I could see where
the money goes. And like, I know that if I
wasn't in a position where I could financially afford my
plastic surgeon, I wouldn't look how I looked today. And
I don't think that it's fair that women don't have
the same opportunity that I did. And insurance, like we
(19:51):
talked about earlier, they don't cover these surgeries a lot
of the times because it's now considered elective and cosmetics.
So I would like to pay it forward by paying
for a patient surgery instead of just throwing it at
an organization where somebody's making money off of it, and
we still got no care.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Somebody's making money.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
They have over hundreds of millions of dollars of cancer research.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Yes, where's the care?
Speaker 5 (20:17):
How many people have we lost to cancer that we're famous?
Not famous?
Speaker 7 (20:21):
And then the crazy thing about it is like even
when you even in Atlanta, like you look, you see
billboard signs about HIV and all this stuff, and I'm like,
y'all spending money on billboards, where's where's the cure? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Here for HIV set we gonna see.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, that's chat GVT.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Don't see you don't even got chat GBT.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
I got Google.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yeah. See see.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
We appreciate you spend some time with us having when
we go, one last question mental health checking and one
time for Keisha.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
How do you keep your mental health strong? What do
you do if you're having a bad day? What do
you do?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I spend a lot of time with thin animals. I
really I'm only down to two now.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
But a dog and a cat, A dog and a cat,
they get along, Yes.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
They love each other. My cat actually just got diagnosed
with them fulmless. I'm gonna have to put her down. Yeah,
I know they want they wanted me to do it.
Before I came out to Atlanta, I was like, I
cannot do that because I'll be bawling my eyes out
over that. So I rely a lot on my family,
my sister, my girlfriends, and then if it gets really bad,
(21:32):
then I'm calling my therapist and be like, Okay, I
need to tap in with you really quick. But I
just surround myself that with people that love and support me.
And sometimes something as simple as just going outside and
like going for a walk and just having some sun
will help you feel better. Journal journaling is helpful. Listening
to music if you need to be in your depressed
(21:54):
girl era and listen to sad songs, listen to it.
Some days, I'll eat a lot if I need to
eat my feelings away. But you know, whatever makes you
feel better, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
Give me there you go, Nicole, appreciate you pulling.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Up on the ver so much. But cancer, yeah for real,
fuck Cancer
Speaker 3 (22:16):
