This post is one from the heart. Here at LetterZ from Mars, we believe in giving back to our community. If you’ve been following since the beginning, you know how passionate we are about raising awareness to different types of cancers, including breast cancer. Today, we wanted to share with you how we were able to offer our services to an incredible organization for their “Dear Body” photo shoot for their upcoming 2025 calendar! Preorders are now open so go check them out!
After working with these amazingly FIERCE women, we are forever changed. We wanted to share some of the incredible photos shot by .group with you in this and some future posts because we couldn’t do just one!
I will start with Maria because of her love of sunflowers 🌻 and because she is a veteran! See, sunflowers are my mom’s favorite flower and you all know, I am married to a retired veteran! My mom is also a breast cancer and pancreatic cancer survivor, so there was an immediate connection with her! Maria is so powerful and I’m so grateful to have had the chance to meet her. Actually, I am so grateful to have met all the women from . They have made a huge impact in my life and I will never forget all they taught me.
I know I wrote a book here, but this really touches my heart ❤️🔥
I also want to share with you that no matter how old you are, you have to trust your instinct, know your body and ADVOCATE for yourself! There were too many stories in the room of women not being taken seriously because of their age or because of other reasons. These women’s stories are theirs, but they’re also our stories. ADVOCATE for yourself and make sure you’re heard. Get mammograms, do genetic screening, do it all with zero apologies! Like my friend said “tell your sisters, moms, abuelitas, tías, besties, titas, titis, aunties,” and even the men in your lives!
L❤️🔥ve you all!
