Let's go. That's that's how you market show.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
I haven't even talked about that, man. Listen, that's how
you mark the chest out? And Tom, can you please
drop those time and days for people can view the
ones that are visible. I am so excited for you.
I am so excited for you. So for those that
just are tuning in that may not know who you are,
can you tell us a little bit about who you

(05:41):
is and what expired this fashion show.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
So my name is Nicole. I am a plus model
in the city, been modeling for about ten years and
about ten well a little more than ten years. Ten
years ago, my mom died from pancreatic cancer, and in
that moment I didn't realize how much cancer was affecting people. Right,

(06:06):
So when I first got like the little inklier, a
little clue of it was she went to was able
to go to one chemo session, and me and my
sister went with her to chemo. And we're sitting in
the room and I'm looking around and I see children,
I see old people, I see black people, I see
white people, I see Asians, Africans, straight people, gay people, Christians,

(06:29):
musclim It didn't matter. And so in that moment, I
realized that cancer don't discriminate, like we're all we're caught
up on what people are or what people are doing
or whatever there whatever it is, right, but cancer doesn't care.
Cancer doesn't care if you're rich. He doesn't care if
you're poor. So I posted yesterday when they talked about
DiAngelo passing away. Yes, he died from pancreatic cancer. So

(06:52):
I made a post about it because there are other
stars that died from pancreatic cancer. Aretha Franklin died from
pancreatic cancer. She was rich. Alex Trebek a lot of money, D'Angelo,
you know famous. Cancer doesn't care who you are and
what you're doing. It's coming for you no matter what.
So I did create this event. Actually a long time ago.

(07:16):
This event came to me. God gave me this event
before the pandemic, and y then the pandemic hit, so
I just didn't move. I couldn't move with it because
you know, we were shut down. And then when the
pandemic went away, I was just like, oh, maybe I
shouldn't do it. So I just kind of was like whatever.
So then twenty twenty five interests and I'm like, man,

(07:37):
this is the tenth year of my mother's death. I
have to do it. I have to do it. So
I immediately, you know, reached back out to the people
who were with me the first time, and I was like, Okay,
we're gonna move forward. We have to do it. This
is the tenth year. And I'm constantly seeing rip. You know,

(07:59):
my grandma died from answer, my grandfather died from cancer.
This person No, I'm just saying like, this is what
I'm seeing all social media, and I'm like, it affects
all of us. So I was kind of like asking people, Hey,
do you have a family member or that, or you
know anybody that has been dealing with cancer. I haven't
met a person yet, are you say? Oh, say that

(08:22):
can say no, that can say that they don't know anybody,
or that they haven't had a family member. So that
showed me that we are all affected by this and
that we have to do something, that we have to
stop focusing on the differences and we need to start
focused on this thing that's affecting all of us no
matter what. And so that's what inspired me to continue

(08:42):
on with this. And then of course it's a play
on work. Common threads is fashion. My mom loved fashion,
and you know me being a model, so I wanted
to be this is the way to pay tribute and
give honor to my mother's leg. That is so dope.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
I remember when I first came in kind of with you.
This is what you were say talking about it. You
were so passionate about it then, and I was last
year actually, right or maybe two years ago, years ago, okay,
you were so passionate about and the fact that you
are doing it now is so so super dold, like
everything is literally on God's sign.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
You know. Do I have days where I have doubts
I do where I'm like forget it, I'm gonna cancel it,
and I kid you not. God will send something and
he'll be like, like, somebody will call me, be like hey,
I have this, Like example, there's I can't think of
her name, and please forgive me. I'm having some wine donated.

(09:37):
I wasn't quite expecting it at that time, but God
was like, I'm telling you, I got you. Then the
next thing, somebody else will call me like, hey, I
just talked to so and so. They said that they're
gonna donate this to you. So I went to an
event three weeks ago called cancer in your DNA. Okay,
now I was the day I saw you. Okay, yeah, there,

(09:58):
and I went to this event. So I'm sitting at
the table with this woman. Never met these women in
my life, right, So I'm sitting there and I'm listening
to what's going on. So it comes to a point
where we're gonna map like our DNA and our family. Right.
So I'm sitting I'm talking to this lady and I
start telling her about my event, like I came here
because of this this. You know, I wanted to meet

(10:19):
these ladies and you know, talk about this situation and
see if maybe I can get somebody to be a
speaker or whatever may be. So the lady was like, well,
tell me more. So I started telling her about the
show everything I just said to you. And then she
was like, I'm gonna make a donation to you. And
I'm like, what you? So she was like, send me

(10:40):
here cash and she literally right then and there, cash
at me money.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
That's because it's supposed to happen when it's not what
you want. Correct, God want this to happen. You want
this to happen for a paecific reason, probably bigger than
the purpose.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
That you think that you want to do. So he's
going to be sending you things and you can't even
make sense exactly. So she this says, wait, hold on
one second. She causes other lady over. She was like, hey,
she's putting on this bash show. It's all coming out
of her pocket whatever. And then the lady was like, wait, well,
so what do you need. So I'm like, well, I'm
still working on this. She said, well hold on. She called.

(11:20):
The lady was bringing in the food and she was like, hey,
come here, look at your calendar. Do you have this
date available? And the lady was like, yeah, I'm available.
She said, okay, we're gonna pay for your cater And
I'm like, so, I'm like what yes, So now I'm
first I'm crying because I'm like, I've never met these
women before in my life. Don't matter by what you are.

(11:42):
They are two black female doctors. I had no idea
never met Melanie Gray and Deborah. Melanie Gray, I know who.
Melody Gray was the one who said I'm gonna send
you money. Melodie Gray was a professor of us. Never
met me, and she start ministering to me about this
is this is what God wants you to do. Like

(12:03):
she never I've never seen this lady in my life,
and she immediately started ministering to me. Then Deborah Neviles
she she continued to follow up. So when I was
I was on w n o V last week and
when I came out, Deborah Neviles was right there and
I'm like, where are you going? She was like, I
was coming to see you to let you know, like, yeah,
we're gonna make a donation. We're gonna pay for your catering,

(12:24):
but we're gonna make a donation too.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
If I'm not mistaken, I believe Melandie Gray is an AKA.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Possibly I don't.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah, so you are getting hands and she does not
play Melanie Gray do not.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
She's out of town.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
She'll be out of town that weekend. But she she goes,
she keeps her that lady. Then I'll play absolutely, I'm
so happy for you.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
I'm so happy for you.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
That is real, That's that's super dope. Before I move
on to the next question, do you have all the
venders that you wanted for your event? And if not,
can you tell the people who and what you are
looking for and how they can apply or contact.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
You need me? So I think I'm I I just
need a couple more, two, maybe three more. But every
vendor that I have right now has also been affected
by cancer. Okay, so that's not qualication because I feel

(13:22):
like everybody has been touched and affected. So I'll use
John Ray for example. Her mother also died from pancreatic cancer,
so we have that that connection. So I definitely wanted
her to vent because she needs to be able to
tell her story too. And so is it required me
to know because one of my vendors, like she doesn't
have any family members that died, but she has a

(13:45):
close friend, you know what I mean? That's dealing with it.
So I feel like everybody has been touched, so it's
not going to really matter, you know, But if they're
interested in being a vendor, you can reach me at
common threads and the number four cancer at gmail dot com.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Tom, can you please drop that in there comment threads
at the number four at gmail dot com. If you
are interested or know someone that is interested past the
information online.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
We will really appreciate that. Absolutely. So that's pretty dope.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
So losing your mother to patriantic cancer must have been
incredibly difficult. How did the experience shape your purpose and
the powerful moment you have created?

Speaker 1 (14:27):
So in order to answer that question, I need to
just tell the story. So it started with my mother
in like the summer of twenty fourteen, midsummer. She kept
saying her stomach was hurting. So I remember going to
the doctor with her and them doing all these scopes
and trying to figure out what was the cause of

(14:48):
her pain. They couldn't find anything. So the summer is
going on, and now we're into like August September, and
she's just like, my stomach hurts, like it don't stop,
and she wasn't really eating, and so I'm literally taking
her to the er on a regular basis, right, So

(15:09):
that goes along. Now we're going into October and October
I was now taking her to the er twice a week,
and some of the things that we faced was they
thought she was drug seeking because she was in so
much pain, like she would literally have to sleep like
sitting up like this in order to rest. Right. She
wasn't eating anything, And when she told me that she

(15:32):
no longer wanted to exercise, really I knew it was
serious because my mama exercised every day. No matter what's
gonna happen, she's gonna exercise, right, So when she said
she didn't want to exercise, I'm like, okay, she's really sick.
We gotta figure this out. So I take her to
the doctor to the to the er that night, and
the er doctor was oncologist. So we're explaining everything, you know,

(15:53):
all her symptoms were, you know, the pain or whatever,
and he was like, I have an idea. Let me
check something, even though she didn't had all of these
scans and had all of this stuff already done. He
does some sort of special scan I can't remember what
it is, and then he runs a test like on
her billy rubin and that's like your liver because they
work together.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Right.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
So he came back and he said, well, we're gonna
admit her at least let's get her pain under control
until we can figure out what this is. So the
next day we still don't have any answers yet. So
the next day comes and they're like, you know, well
we got her pain out of the control. We're going
to go ahead and let her go home, and then

(16:34):
once we get results, then we'll let you know. You know,
the yard don't take that long to get no results,
so let you know something's going on, right, So I go,
I get get the car. I'm getting ready to come
back to bring her out, and my cousin calls me.
She was like, can you come back in for a minute.
And I'm like what you know what I mean, let's go.
So I go back here and I see my mom.

(16:55):
She's sitting on the bed, her back is to the wall, okay,
I mean face in the wall, and I knew something,
you know what I mean, I'm like, something's wrong. So
I go and I said sit next to her. I'm like, Mom,
what's going on? And then she was like it's they
think it's pancreatic cancer. And I'm like, okay, so what

(17:16):
do you want to do? You know, and she was like,
I don't know. You know, we got to figure it out.
I said, well, whatever you decide you want to do,
and whatever you don't want to do, this is you you.
You know, you get to make the choices. So we
go on home and she's still very sick. They put
her on these pay ads and I'm the one who's like,

(17:37):
I have to administer these these pay ads to her.
And it was in that moment that I understood when
people say they help they loved ones die. I would
never do it because I want to go jail. But
I understood it because I would give her this pill
and it would take an hour to get in her system,
and it would only I only could give it to
her every four hours. But two hours later she's asking

(18:00):
for more because that's how much pain she was. And
she wasn't a pain, you know what I mean. She
didn't take a lot of pain pills. So to hear
her asking for this, in that moment, I understood that
I wanted to give her all the pills, you know
what I mean, because I just want her to not
be any pain. Of course I didn't do that. So
now as we go in, we're going into November, and

(18:21):
we go see the oncologists. Because people think that when
you have cancer, you get a diagnosis today and you
see the oncolleges tomorrow. It don't work well because there's
a lot of more tests that they're running before you
get there. So we met with the oncologists. They told
us it was stage four. It was a tumor was
wrapped around her blood, the blood vessels around her pancreas,

(18:44):
and that that's not something you can operate or take
hour it was and it was too far gone. So
she spent four weeks in the hospital. She spent a
week and a half at home, and then she went
back to the hospital. But another week can happen and
she died. So from the actual diagnosis to what stage

(19:05):
she was in, there's November, about November fifth, and my
mom was dead by January third, so in that short time,
and so pancreatic cancer is known as the silent cancer.
You do not have any symptoms until it's too late,
and so a lot of people don't know that there's
no symptoms. I think it's something like maybe like five

(19:27):
percent of people survive it.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
But in most cases, is there something like breast cancer
right for example, you can go and get your breasts.
There's nothing that you can do to try to prevent anything,
to get test done early or anything like that.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
There's not enough research on it. They don't even know
if it's hereditary. They're trying to figure it out. So
I did get genetically tested. They didn't see anything in mind,
but that was also eight years ago, so things are updated,
so I need to go back and do it again.
But in that time of watching my mom died, my
relationship with God is what sustained me, because I mean

(20:03):
I would walk that hallways of that hospital just praying,
and I was we were on the cancer word, so
I would pray up and down the hallway for other
people with cancer. Of course I'm going to pray for
my mother. And my relationship was so strong with God,
like I was just like, I know that you got us.
So what God said to me in my prayer time

(20:24):
was I hear who I want, when I want, and
how I want. And so when I heard that from God,
I knew my mom was going to die. And so
then the nurse who was a Muslim woman that we
believe in the two different things, right, Yes, talk to
me and my sister and she said, I'm gonna show
you this. So she show us my mom's chart and

(20:47):
she says, do you know what this means? And I said,
my mama gonna die? And she said yes. But do
you see there was she didn't It didn't matter that
I was Christian and she was Muslim. It didn't matter.
It doesn't it does, It doesn't matter. That was who
helped me. You get what I'm saying. Yes, I still
had I was trusting and believing in God, but the

(21:08):
doctor was spending us. We couldn't get a direct answers.
And this woman was like, I'm gonna tell you the
truth and I'm gonna pray for y'all. You get what
I'm saying. I do. So it was my faith in
God that I never knew I had that strength in me.
I never knew I had that Strengthen.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
You don't we none of us know we had that
strength in us until we are tested, until we are faith.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
With it, none of us know. I mean, it was
so one of my cousins she went through leukemia and
so she was one of the first people I called
when we got the diagnosis, and she said, whatever you do,
don't cry from her, because she went through having leukemia
and her sister a year and a half prior to
her died of like the cancer have metastaside in a

(21:54):
lot of different places, and so she was like, don't
crying from her, because we're already feeling bad, and when
we're seeing people cry, it make us feel worse. I
didn't shed a tear in that hospital room with my mom.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
And that's one of the best things that you can
honestly do, is just for me having my time being
sick with Loupez, I did. I felt bad too, so
I like seeing somebody else Cary.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Would have broken, would have broke me definitely, some wise
counsel when she told me that I was trying, I
would go home. So I was the third ship person
because I had the older kids and my sister had
younger school age kids, and so I would stay all
night with my mom. And that's when she would be
at the worst, like she would be hallucinated. It was crazy,
but I would not cry. And so when I would

(22:39):
leave in the morning after my sister got her kids
to school and she would come to I would go
home and cry all day. So when you were taking
care of your mother, did you have anybody to take
care of you? No? How did that feel? I looked awful.
I'm already like like when you know, I'm like bright,

(23:00):
but I was life righting, like my face was drawn
in where I had bags down here like I just
looked rough because you know, I was tired and I
was you know, I was crying because I would stay
up all night long because by then my mom she
was she had a pain patch and she had the pump.
Oh yeah, so the pump. You would have to do
it every fifteen years. She was too tired, too and

(23:22):
too much pain to even think. I would stay up
all night and I'm not kidding you. I'll do that
thing every fifteen minutes until like I had a nurse
come and tell me, well, you can't do that. I said,
this my mama. You could do what you want to
do with your mama, but this my mom, because what
you're gonna do, you're not gonna put me out, but
I'm gonna get you put out. So don't come back

(23:43):
in here. You know wrong, And that's that's the thing.
Line between you know, being a medical professional and.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Being a daughter and seeing your mom go through all
of that pain. But my hats does go off to
you because that's a lot, you know what I'm saying,
that's a lot to even deal with that and then
not eat and have anybody to take care of you
when you went home. I mean, of course you had
your faith, but it's always good to have somebody take
care of the person that's actually really going.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
That's really the things because you lose yourself in that
moment of time. For sure, I wish I would have journaled.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
I wish you would have too, wish, but you know
it's never too late, so now you just in those
moments in real time.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
I mean, yeah, I wish I would have. I wish
I would have journaled. And I really want to encourage
other people who are, you know, watching their loved one,
their loved one die or their journey like journal it
because it's some moments that I can't remember that I
wish I could remember, you know what I mean? And
then too, like my mom when I when she died

(24:45):
and I went in her she had like a little
notebook that she was keeping notes, and in that notebook.
She talked about I think I have cancer, but she
wouldn't take cancer. She put like a capital C and
she said, but I had a good life, a good job,
a good family, and that was what she left in her.
Didn't that make you feel so happy? Yes?

Speaker 2 (25:07):
It did, and it did.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
And then even after she die, as me and my
sister were handling her business, we like, I called to Curves.
She had a Curves membership, so I called to Curves
and the young lady was like, you know what, your
mom really helped me, and I was like, she did.
So we heard so many stories all my mom helped people.
So I was like, well, why does she help She said, well,
I'm white and my baby's black, and I don't know
how to call my baby's hair. I don't know what

(25:30):
the baby's hair. And your mom like literally got the
products and brought it to the gym to show me
how to call my baby's hair. That is so that
is doe, but that's dope.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
That that meant a lot to her, Even though it's
like a laugh of moment, but that really meant a
lot to her.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Some people just don't know. Those were the stories we
heard from so many people. So she wanted to celebration
of life. She's very clear that she did not want
a funeral, so she was cremated. We brought it to
the party and we had this huge party. Over five
hundred people showed up of life. And she loved the
Urban Ecology Center, so that's where we had it. We
chose to have it a place that she loved. And

(26:10):
I'm talking about five hundred people and the stories we
heard about our mom, Like we knew we had adult
mama because she was my mama, but she was my
best friend. And my sister will tell you she was
my mama, but she was my best friend. And I
was with my auntie this weekend and she was like
she was my sister, but she was my best friend.
You know what I mean? That was she would help

(26:31):
anybody and do anything.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
So well, before I ask you the next question, I
like to have my guests read the comments talk. Can
you put some of the comments on the screen. Yes,
can you please pull the fisical on the screen? Helloa, Sean,
that's my sorority sister. Thank you for tuning in. Like always,
she's very supportive. You see it right there, Trivia Gray,

(26:56):
thank you.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
Hello. She said, hello, hey there, hay La Liae. So
Ruthia is actually on my team. I figured, yeah, she
is our model coordinator because she wants me to make

(27:16):
sure I say she'd and she has really been her.
Denise and my friend Joanna have really been like pushing me,
like for real, like pushing me because I will shut
down and they'd be like, nope, let's go, let's do it.
Like today Denise was like, drive me some flyers off
at my house, so I drop flyers off. You know,

(27:38):
they just really been pushing me. And that's a team
effort for real, like it is, like it really is
like they just they been keeping me saying they laugh
at me, they be talking crazy about me because I be.
I'm talking about I be trip and like, girl, shut
up talk to me. That's all love language. That's how
I love language. And I'll be like, yeah, okay, I'm
gonna keep gonna be talking again.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
So I'm telling you going so fast, okay all Miss
Gray said you got Trevor Treva.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yeah, Treva Treva says, watching your mother expire is hard.
I've been there. My condolences to you, queen, and my
condolences to you because it is it is very rough.
Shout out to all the caregivers. People have no idea
what caregivers go through. I'm talking terrible. It's the worst, Helen.

(28:27):
Journaling is the best thing to do when you have
no support. Journally is like talking to God. That's right, girl,
that's the truth. Ruth. You can't come here either. That's
why I have locks now because I can't go here.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Y'all are something else. Keep on supporting her again, it's
on the screen. If you cannot make it, donations is
greatly appreciated. It's definitely gonna be you for a great
great no cause, we're gonna go ahead.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
I'm sorry you sure, we're gonna move on to.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
The fast awareness. The fashion of awareness is such a
unique thing. Can you tell us how fashion became your
form of advocacy and healing?

Speaker 1 (29:09):
I mentioned it briefly, but my mom loved clothes. So
we would call my mom a bells and whistles like
she's gonna show up and bells and whiskeys. She go
if if you take wear camouflage, she gonna have camouflage
on head to toe. Box bells and whistles. And she
loved fashion, and she loved to shop and she loved clothes,

(29:32):
and so I they thought that, like, this is the
best tribute to give her is to do fashion. And
she supported me in my you know, in my fashion
and mimmy being a model, and she supported me. Matter
of fact, I started modeling when I was a teenager,
and my mom paid for me to go to you know,
to have these classes. So what better way than you know,

(29:54):
to pay tribute to her than than to give back
to her what she gave to me A match match?

Speaker 2 (30:02):
What message do you hope attends and viewers take away
from the common thread for cancer awareness?

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Fashion show that cancer is the common thread. Cancer don't discriminate.
We got to stop focusing on people's differences and we
got to focus on how are we going to deal
with this cancer situation? How are we going to help
people to have the resources needed, How are we going
to make sure that people are getting tested and make

(30:29):
sure that people are you going to the doctor?

Speaker 2 (30:32):
You know, it's just so funny to hear you said that.
I'm gonna talk on a brief moment because I feel
as though the cancer community, society get full blown everything.
It's right in your faces. Cancer awareness is on the radio,
it's on the billboards, it's walks, it's.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Everything like does not miss a beat? Right?

Speaker 2 (30:51):
But for loop is, we have been trying to get
where the what am I trying to say the publicity
that cancer has for a loopis and we don't We
don't have that yet. So I'm curious to I'm curious
to to want to know what is it more that
you want to see when it comes to cancer, because

(31:11):
for us, that's looking outside in. I guess you can say,
because we don't know, right, what more is your are
you looking for it?

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Well? I think that what more I'm looking for is
getting the people to really go you know what I mean,
really getting the people to go to the doctor. Like
I'm gonna use my auntie for example, Mansie, don't go
to the doctor. Now you know you had a sister
that died from cancer. She will not go to the doctor.

(31:39):
She don't care what's happening. She was like, well if
I die, I die. So getting the awareness out of
getting screened, okay, you know that's important.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
And I think that will so the doctors in all
the publicity, the radios and all you guys got that.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
You guys got that.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
I think that will come more so from the people
that's on the ground, right sure, if we the people
on the ground, we are the people on the ground.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
We the people on the ground. So I want these people.
I want people to hear real life stories because you know, like, yeah,
we talked about DiAngelo yesterday, but we didn't know him.
And I'm not trying to say forget Di'angelo. That's not
what I'm saying it all, but we didn't know him.
There are people right here that you know that is
dealing with this disease, and we need to be able

(32:27):
to get the people right here they be able to them.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
So my question to you, I just seen something somebody
said we give people flowers and balloons from their past,
but we don't give them while they're still breathing on earth.
I feel like that goes hand in hand, right, So
what do you think is not originating with the people
as far as going to the doctor. Do you think
it's the lack of knowledge. Do you think it's because

(32:51):
of being scared? Do you think because of the healthcare? Like?
What are you what is your thought process as to
why people do not go to the doctor and take
care of their health.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
I think that people are afraid. I think that people
really don't want to know. They rather just like they say,
ignorance is bliss. Yeah, I think they just say, well,
it is what it is. But also, you know, I
can speak to black people, people can talk about what
we've been through, right, and we know, we understand about slavery,

(33:22):
and we understand about you know, the error, you know,
the segregation and all that. But we had to remain
silent on a lot of stuff. And I think that
we've carried that on with us through the generations where
we're afraid to talk about things. Everything is a secret.
You know. I've had people call me, well, you know,

(33:43):
I think I'm dealing with cancer, but don't tell nobody. Why?
Why why you don't want nobody to know? Because if
you let people know, we can pray for you, we
can maybe help with some resources, we can support you,
we can do all of those things. But I think
that we as a people tend to just want to
be quite, be silent about it and not share it.

(34:04):
I totally get what you're what you're saying. I don't
have cancer. I have lupis.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
So when I got diagnosed, I was diagnosed at a
very young age, and I didn't want people to know
because I didn't understand what it is that I have.
So for me to tell somebody what I had at
that's a that's it's way different now at that time.
How can I articulate anything when I don't even understand
what's going on? So do you think it has something
to do with acceptance? Because I feel like once you

(34:29):
accept what you have, you're better to be able to
communicate and understand and start educating yourself.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Yes, think about think about where we maybe have been
in a situation where we try to ignore something away.
I think it's kind of the same thing with cancer,
Like if you don't acknowledge it, you think it's gonna
go away, and it's not. It's not gonna go away.
It's here. We gotta deal with it, we gotta face it.

(34:55):
And I want to be that support system for people
to figure out how they need to how are they
going to continue to live even after having this diagnosis yet,
because people will cancel, y'all.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
They have a whole system set in place, like once
you are diagnosed, you got step one, two, three, four five.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
There is no I don't know what's to do for you?
There is none of that.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
You know, you can make peace at what it is
that you make pee for it. And I feel like
it's very selfish as growing up now I scept what
I have. Of course I'm telling the world, but I
feel like it's very selfish of people keeping that to
themselves because you have loved ones, and that's very selfish
of a person keeping their illness to themselves.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
I think so too. Yeah, I totally agree, because you're
not really giving your your people, your family time to
give you those flowers while you're still here. But also too,
they it's unexpected. They don't know how to how to
handle it, you know what I mean. They may not know,

(35:56):
you know, what to do with that. You know. We
were just fortunate that we were there along for the
whole process with my mom. Sure, even though people did
come along say some stupid stuff to us, and that's
what people do. Oh she knew. She probably just didn't
tell y'all where your mama at. Oh she's a home
on the couch. Don't be talking to me. That's how
kind of like my response, like, don't talk to me

(36:17):
about my mama. You still got your mama. Don't talk
to me about people just say stupid stuff because they
don't understand. Don't understand, and I don't think that I
think you're right. I think it's selfish and I don't
think it's fair that you not tell your loved one,
you know what I mean, because you think that it's
going to stop them from hurting, but you're leaving this
earth is what's going to hurt them for sure.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Ooh, okay, you mentioned celebrating super dope designers, right, Can
you highlight a few and what make their involvement special?

Speaker 1 (36:49):
Okay? So when I was selecting designers, I wanted to
work with designers who helped me in my fashion career.
So one of the designers that we're having is GG. Okay,
and I will never forget Gig because when I came

(37:09):
back into the modeling game and I was doing a show,
Gigi was like, I really like you, but we gotta
get this walk together, and she helped me perfect my walk.
So it was Gig that really really helped me. So
I was like, I have to I gotta have you

(37:30):
know what I mean, she has to be in the show.
So it was it was it was Gg. So she
she's one of the designers and then also Natasia she
c XS Fashions, So she is one of my really
really good friends. And again she has also supported me
in anything I've tried to do anything creative. She's right there.

(37:52):
She's made a lot of clothes for me. I've done
a lot of shows with her. I went with her
and we showed her clothes in Atlanta one year, and
so she's been rocking with me, you know, this whole time.
So Natasia from c XS Fashions, and then.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
We can't give them everything, Okay, there's nine designers.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
Oh, so we do have nine designers. And the other
one is Bosha. I've heard of her. She makes some
dope clothes and I've heard of her. We're super dope,
such a really nice young lady. And I didn't realize
until later that I actually went to school with her aunt.
I think it's her aunt. Okay, so one of her

(38:40):
so one of her family members and so super dope designer.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
So this is so very sentimental, very close to home,
very family oriented. It seems like you that is so dope.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
And they all have dealt with cancer, and there you know,
somebody close to them with cancer. All of them, y'all
y'all make sure y'all come. I can't wait. I can't
wait to see it.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
How does fashion help unity unite people across different backgrounds, race,
and body types in the fight against cancer Because.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
People love they do clothes. I don't care what your
size is, I don't care what your races. When I'm
on social media and I'm watching people trying on their clothes, like,
people love clothes and I love to watch like off
of the the Day videos. Yeah, and it's all different people.
It's not the same type of people. And there's people
over in Europe and it's people in Africa, and it's

(39:34):
people here, and it's white people, it's skinny people with
fat people. And so I think, like this is our opportunity,
another way to show about this common thread of cancer
through clothing. We got some dope women in this world.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
And if we I'm gonna say, because I'm a woman,
if we can just come together collectively and understand that
everybody is not going to agree with everything, but that's
not an argument.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
That doesn't mean I don't like you, that doesn't mean
you're disgusting or whatever the thing may be.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Women are very very powerful, and once we understand that
we are more powerful together, we will do better.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
Because other races work together.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
You will never see their nastiness outside of this publicity
or whatever, but they stick together.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
And we gotta understand. Just because you're.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
Opening up a shoe store and I'm opening up a
shoe store, we want to provide two different customer services.
It's enough for everybody. And people are so closed minded.
It's just it's ridiculous. But I'm gonna lead that to
what that's at.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
I definitely understand and I definitely see that. It's like
you're a Savannah and I'm the call and what you
We may be both opening in shoe stores, but you
got your style and I have my style. Like we
look at it now, you gonna go get you some dope.
So I'm pretty heel, like I know when I model,

(40:50):
i wear heels, but every day I'm not. I'm gonna
buy me something nice shoes. You know what I'm saying.
I'm put on me some tennis shoes. But we gonna
we both still have a shoe store, but it's two
different things for different things. And you're and you're you
and you're gonna put your spin on it. And I'm
gonna put my span on it and it's still gonna
be dope and we can still support each other. And
you're right, I do find that it with black women.

(41:11):
We need to support each other more instead of always
trying to be in competition. Let's just in competition, and.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Not only that because I want to, because this could
be a whole show within itself.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
Absolutely can, Like.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
We will move that over to glamorous conversations coming soon,
you guys. But Milwaukee can be very dope, right. Wisconsin
has some amazing people here and we don't come together
like your show can be sold out easily, but everybody
want to knit and pick or how they say, sols

(41:46):
and whatever it is that they do. Everybody that throws
and even here can really be sold out. It's like
a pop feed the pot, you know, and different cities
do that. Milwaukee, Wisconsin does not do that. It's like
clique and favoritism and all of these things. Is where
we really have the power to make each other grow
and put each other on the map, which we are
on the map, but it takes more work because I

(42:08):
feel like I want you to letify your city. It'd
be easier to go to different places we just got
to do better as a whole.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
I think that part of the issue. I know it's
a little bit off subject, but part of the issue
is that people are so busy talking about how much
they hate our city. So that's just like anything you do.
If I get up in the mirror every day and
I take to myself how much I hate myself, I'm
gonna start to hate myself. And so we need to

(42:35):
begin to speak life into our city. And how can
you say you hate a place they got all these
dope people in it. I mean, we got musicians out
of here. Let Sean Hanson. He brought Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He
doesnet been everywhere in this world, playing with different stars.
How can you hate a city that produced a man
like that? You give what I'm saying. Kelly Kel's a comedian.

(42:58):
How can you hate a city that's producing all of
these dope creators we here, I'm a name of designer.
Unfortunately he couldn't be in the show because he had
a complict. Banto Carlos regard dope. One of the dopest
I didn't know he was from her Yeah, one of
the dopest designers I've ever seen. How can you hate
the city that's producing people like that. And I don't

(43:21):
even think they hate the people.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
They hate themselves as so as reflecting and inflicting on
other people because you treat people how you feel about yourself.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
And unfortunately too not to be too much longer on
this topic, but unfortunately too like our kind, is poor
at customer service. We I'm gonna say we I never
did this, but I'm gonna put myself in the mix.
We feel as though that you owe us something. Customers
is what drives the business, so I have to do
great customer service for you and to me, I have
bad experience with our culture as to why I do

(43:52):
not shot with them because they feel as the customer
owes them. No, you owe the customer because we're gonna
make your business thrive.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
That's how that.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
And unfortunately, different cultures know how to do customer service
the proper way. And that's one of the things. We
go into a black establishment and the food is not right.
They don't want to make over the food or give
your money back. You go to a different established because
by the word of mouth, they're gonna make sure you're
taken care of and they're gonna take something off the bill.
So it's the mindset of our culture too that feels

(44:21):
like they getting took an advantage of as to why
they move the way that they move, as to why
we are divided the way we are right, sell you guys,
before we move on to community and collaboration, it's more commons.
Thank you guys so much for tune and m Please share, share, share,
share share, We greatly appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
Let's go to some of these comments. But shon Goola says.
She says denial, poor health literacy is a barrier to
early detection, regular screening. That's facts denial like okay, she know, Ruth,
oh sorry, lack of knowledge, lack of resources, lack of funds,

(45:02):
lack of insurance for sure, back to lashawn access, finances
and culture also influence how a person views their health.
For sure, a lot of times people choose to battle
with life silently because if I tell you what's going on,
what are you gonna do? That's for sure, y'all coming
through with these we also need to allow people grace

(45:25):
to accept things for themselves first before sharing. I mean,
that's true, that's true, but still you need to. I
feel like you should need to tell people. Okay, Ruthie,
get on the girl. Yeah. We are having a model
call on Sunday, October nineteen, four to seven at Sherman Phoenix,
so where you're black and be ready. We are also
taping on that day, so I didn't even get to that.

(45:47):
I'm sorry. As part of this, we are producing a
video where we were talking about the common threat of cancer.
So I am video and people from different walks of life.
So I have a pastor, I have a lady from Germany.
I have a Korean woman, I have a black woman,
I have a transgender person. You know, because they eyes

(46:12):
or don't care. So I want to show in this
video that cancer don't care. That is going to be
super super do. Yeah. So we're also taping that day,
so I didn't share this, But my father I went
through prostate cancer about five maybe five years ago at
the same time, my father in law, my uncle, all

(46:35):
of them at the same exact time. We're going through
prostay cancer and a guy from my church at the
same time. But they have five different treatments. So again,
still don't discriminate. You know, we're talking about different ages,
different backgrounds. We're talking about a Puerto Rican man. You
hear what I'm saying is it doesn't matter where you
come from. Cancer just don't care.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
I'm excited for this, Like telling your story behind it
makes me even more excited to even want to come.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
Not that it didn't before, but this puts like a
stamp on it. Right, You get it now? Yeah, you
understand like why I'm so passionate about and why I
just keep pushing it because we gotta do it. This
is just this year. You know, I'm already working on
more things. I actually now have a mentor who's going
to help me through the process of this becoming a foundation,

(47:25):
and so it's gonna be more. I can't I'm this
is super Dolle. Yeah, it's been a lot, I bet
a lot of getting yelled dad by Ruthia.

Speaker 2 (47:38):
That's what Listen. You cannot get the glitter and glove
until you go through the storm. I feel like the
storm is very necessary so you can sustain it. Yeah,
for sure, We're gonna move on to community and collaboration.
How can the community get involved or support this year's event?

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Come out, get a ticket, come out. So I do
have a doctor from the Medical College of Wisconsin is
gonna be talking. Who's gonna be speaking. It's not confirmed yet,
but to get back and tell me which doctor. But
it's confirmed, and so we're gonna be doing that. We're
gonna have a survivor talk about her story. She actually

(48:17):
had cancer twice. So come out and you're listen and
support and get screened, go to the doctor. You know
what I mean. We're gonna have all of those things,
you know, the reason to be able to provide the
resources for people and for the community.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
This is gonna be super dope and tone. We're gonna
get the cash app or whatever it is, the website,
whatever it is. If you guys want to make a donation,
that'd be so perfect and appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
You could do that too if you are any other
cities in.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
States or countries. That's the way that you can support
as well. Tone, I'm gonna have you drop that in
there again. We're gonna get that information from the code.
What role do caregivers and supporters play in this movement?

Speaker 1 (49:04):
Caregivers? And you said, what roles do they play?

Speaker 2 (49:07):
Do you have anybody that's like a nurse, a doctor,
or caregiver anybody can be a caregiver with any title,
So do they have any roles in what you have
going on?

Speaker 1 (49:18):
So, one of the people on the video is gonna
be talking about taking care of her parents. Okay, taking
care of her parents.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
Who don't don't give them all because that y'all gotta come,
y'all gotta come.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
We can't give y'all, We can't give you everything. But
I also want to know, like it's it's a it's
a small it's a short video for the sake of
the of the event, but there's more to come. This
is actually a documentary about the common thread of cancer.
So and this is gonna be all on the same

(49:53):
day the video will be the video will play at
an event, but the documentary will come out later. It'll
come out in twenty six. Are you doing I'm I'm
excited now you are you in the process of doing it? Okay?
So it's gonna be a full documentary about this. So
I can't wait here. I'm here for it.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
What message do you want to send to other women
and men turning their pain into purpose?

Speaker 1 (50:23):
Trust whatever your faith is, trust it, believe it. Even
though you have this diagnosis, you still there's still a purpose.
Like I never thought that that I would do this,
you know what I mean, Like watching my mom die,
I didn't know whatever lead to this, you know what
I mean. So our pain is leading us somewhere, even

(50:46):
if I understand that some people the pain eventually is
going to turn it to death. Believe that legacy, Leave
that information, leave what people need to be able to
move on. Like I know, I was able to go
after my mom's death because my mama was She was like,
you got to keep going. Ain't no stop, you know
what I mean. You have to keep going. That this

(51:09):
is not the end of your life. You have to
continue on. And so we want to continue the legacy
of our family members even if they're gone. So I
know that, you know, getting a diagnosis is difficult. I
haven't been diagnosed with cancer, so I don't know what
it feels like. But I didn't say this, but my
sister had breast cancer. She had it two years after

(51:29):
my mama, you know what I mean. So so you
have to you just got to keep you got to
push through it, you know. And I'm not trying to
minimize like that it's not a big deal, because it's
a major deal for sure, But we still have to
walk in our purpose. And God has given us all
of a purpose. And unfortunately, for some people, their purpose

(51:50):
is to die that someone else may continue something on.
I didn't want my mama to die, But this is
what God wants me to do. What we think our purpose?
This is never what it is correct.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
It's something that we run away from, something that we
are rebellious against, something that we do not want to do,
something that's not even a part of our lives.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
And it never leaves us. So what do we do?
We act on it? That's right. I didn't want to
do this. I'm not doing that.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
Oh my god, you guys are definitely coming through with
these comments. Oh doctor G What were you referring to

we need to experience the eighty five dollars ones. If

(55:41):
you could leave our listeners with one word that describes
your mission, what would it be and why?

Speaker 1 (55:49):
One word? One word? What would it be and why?
I'm gonna say, kids said, buy them tickets and bring
a friend, family member, sneakyly baby, I bring all up,

(56:10):
don't start if kids can? Kids come? Yeah, it might
be long for them, but yeah, okay, do y'all have
a baby to the brand? The kids? Kids brand? The kids?
What word I'm gonna have to say? Determined, Like I'm

(56:35):
determined to get this out. I'm determined to be boots
on the ground. I'm determined to be able to provide
people the support that they need. But this, this disease,
I'm over it. I'm sick of cancer. I hate cancer.
It's crazy. It's just it's crazy. So I understand.

Speaker 2 (56:56):
So is there something in their future as far as
like doing something, wants some month for screening, passing out
any type of materials? Are you gonna have a pop
up shot once a month? Like what can we look
forward to it in their future? Besides, once you're this amazing,
fabulous fashion show, do you plan on doing anything each quarter?

Speaker 1 (57:16):
Yes? So, like I said, I am working on creating
a foundation, but I want to get this done so
foundation and process, and as part of that foundation, I
want to do something called cancer Conversations. You know that
we're gonna we're gonna talk about all of it now

(57:37):
like that, all different people, you know, so it may change.
And so that is going to be a quarter within
also going.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
To be Wait, what does that look like? Is that
going to be like a panel? Are you going to
be on other people podcasts?

Speaker 1 (57:51):
What does that look like? It's gonna look like we're
gonna get together with like maybe this month. It could
be a support group, you know what I mean. People
want to talk about. So one thing that I really
do want to talk about is prospect cancer. I know
I'm a female. I don't have to I don't have
that right, but I as I've watched my family members

(58:14):
go through this, I'm realizing that a lot of men
they need support because after you go through that and
you're going through all the radiation you have, there's some
issues that come after that. Yes, they need to be
able to be in a safe place to talk about it.
So I definitely want to provide safe spaces for people
to talk about their experience. Another time. It may be doctors.
You know that we may be with doctors and you

(58:35):
know they're providing them with some information. It may be screening,
and may be resources. So that stuff is still in
the works.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
But when you are ready to roll that out, I
would definitely like for you to come on both lou
and Glamorous Conversations to promote that.

Speaker 1 (58:50):
Yeah, that's just one little thing. I'm excited though. Of course, scholarships,
you know, I wanted to that you will be able
to provide scholarships and children who are affected by cancer.
And so that's just two of the things. But there's
I do have a list, so it's all out. I'm
so happy for you.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
So is there anything else that you want our listeners
to know or to look forward to before we actually
leave this?

Speaker 1 (59:15):
This could have literally went on, but I know your
time is conceptions. Yes, I just really want people to
come out. I really want people to come out and
talk about this and become aware because a lot of
people aren't aware as well, and we just got to
talk about it to see how much it is affecting.
Not just our community, not just our state, not just

(59:39):
our country. It's the world, you know what I mean.
It's everywhere. It's not just here, it's everywhere. We have
to face it, we have to talk about it, we
have to be aware of it. We can know we
cannot continue to ignore this. Yep.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
And even with the people that have it that's going through,
the people need something that the people are dealing with
it with their their loved ones, they need some type
of support or the grievings or anything of that nature too.
So it's definitely a full circle. So I greatly appreciate
you for coming on, taking out time or your day.

(01:00:15):
I know this show is gonna be lovely, it's gonna
be super dope. We are gonna make sure she is
sold out. Okay, yes what she said, Oh for sure.
