MENTAL HEALTH • HEALING • SISTERHOOD 🫂 Thank you to Shahirah Brown, Esq. and Sistas In Suits for such an ON-TIME Mental Health Check-In, Check-Up event. 💜 We live in a world where we constantly consume negativity that can feel heavy and overwhelming. I thank God for women like Shahirah, who consistently show up for her sistas in meaningful, loving, and positive ways. She truly is her sister’s keeper and is walking boldly in her God-given gifts. I was honored to speak about health and wellness as it relates to cancer, and together we connected the importance of understanding our personal family medical and cancer lineage. We discussed how we are called to pass the baton of education — using our voices to inform, advocate, and uplift others. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.” — Proverbs 18:21 NKJV We also sent everyone home with a gentle, specifically curated, reminder rooted in Agape love: You Were Never Meant to Carry It All 💜 You were never meant to carry everything alone. Today was not a performance — it was a return. A return to yourself. A return to softness. A return to God’s love. Softness is not weakness. Softness is alignment. Softness is telling the truth about what you need. Softness is choosing yourself — without guilt. This week, move with intention: 💜 Have the conversation. 💜 Ask the question. 💜 Tell the truth. 💜 Care for your body. 💜 Choose rest without guilt. And above all — love yourself the way God loves you: Fully. Freely. Without condition. You are not behind. You are not too much. You are becoming — on purpose. — Your Sista, Nia Imani 💜 Psalm 91

I am deeply honored to have been part of something so intentional, necessary, and transformative. A heartfelt thank you to @stupidcancer and Brigid Frasquillo for trusting us to help create space for conversations that center truth, identity, and healing—especially for those who are too often unheard. At CancerCon 2026, I facilitated a 90-minute workshop: “Rest, Identity & Healing in BIPOC AYA Survivorship.” This was more than a session—it was a restorative, survivor-centered space where Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) AYA survivors and caregivers could show up fully, without pressure to perform strength, gratitude, or resilience. Together, we explored a core truth: You are not only a survivor because you endured—you are a survivor because you are worthy of rest, agency, and a voice. We made room for: 💜 Honesty without explanation 💜 Rest without guilt 💜 Identity beyond illness 💜 Community as a pathway to healing We named what often goes unspoken: Survivorship is not linear. Healing has no deadline. Rest is not a reward—it is a right. We held space for reflection, truth-telling, and reclamation—reminding one another that we do not have to carry everything alone, and we do not have to rush our healing. Healing is a journey. Everyone left with a curated reminder—thoughtfully and intentionally created by Byrd Cancer Foundation, specifically for CancerCon: “Held While You Heal: A Reminder to Return To” A reflection designed not just to be read, but to be felt. To be returned to. To hold you on the days when survivorship feels heavy, uncertain, or unseen. Because survivorship isn’t just about getting through—it’s about what comes after. It’s about being seen, being heard, and being allowed to exist fully. Thank you again to Stupid Cancer for sharing your space with us. 🎗️💜 Together, we are building pathways to healing, empowerment, and community—because no one should navigate cancer alone. I am so thankful for everyone I met and connected with! We are FOREVER Family! ♾️🔐 #StupidCancer #CancerCon #ByrdCancerFoundation #RestIdentityAndHealing #BIPOC AYASurvivorship HeldWhileYouHeal AReminderToReturnTo

📔 👑CHECK YOUR JOURNALS👑📔 While you’re exploring your journals or starting a new one, it’s also that time of the month — time to #feelitonthefirst Y’all know the drill. This is your monthly reminder to take a few check your breasts and because it’s Mental Health Awareness Month, check in with yourself. As a breast cancer survivor and a counselor, I’m feeling more this month. I’ll be honest, I learned more about my own mental health after being diagnosed with breast cancer at 30 than I ever had before. I learned the truth about mental health beyond my schooling, trainings, and clinical hours. Those experiences gave me knowledge, but breast cancer gave me a different kind of understanding. It made me really get what mental health is all about. I learned that your mind and body are way more connected than we talk about. I learned that survivorship doesn’t just affect your appointments, scans, and treatment plan — it affects how safe you feel in your own body. And that’s why this reminder matters. Feel it on the first. Check your breasts. Check in with your mind. Pay attention to what feels normal for you and what feels different. And if something feels off, lean into your people! We’re not doing this from fear. We’re doing this because our bodies deserve to be listened to. Dear Boobie Queen, it’s time to Feel It on the First. #BreastCancerSurvivor #boobiequeen #boobiecrowns #boobiequeenco
