PICTURES ABOVE are from the 2nd Annual Heath Equity "Mammogram Screening" Presented by Lorretta's Daughter, LLC
As Tameka Nichole "The Voice on The King" I speak into microphones every week.
But today… I’m speaking from my heart.
I read the message from Loretta’s Daughter LLC. about their second successful Health Equity Mammogram event, and I had to pause. Because this one is personal for me.
I just turned 40.
Forty is powerful. Forty is beautiful.
And forty is also the age when many of us schedule our first mammogram.
For me, this isn’t just a routine appointment.
My mother is a breast cancer survivor.
My aunt, my mother’s sister... has also walked that journey.
So when I read:
“Sixteen women. Sixteen stories. Sixteen acts of courage.”
I didn’t just see numbers.
I saw my mother.
I saw my aunt.
And I saw myself.
What Loretta’s Daughter LLC., in partnership with Springfield Baptist Church, Northside Hospital, Screen Atlanta, Chi Tau Omega Chapter of AKA, and Decatur Alumni Chapter of Albany State University accomplished in the Conyers/Covington community was more than an event.
It is legacy in motion.
It is access made visible.
It is health equity — not just spoken, but delivered.
As a woman.
As a daughter.
As someone now standing at the doorway of her first mammogram.
I want to say thank you.
Thank you to the organizers who turned grief into purpose.
Thank you to the volunteers who showed up in service.
Thank you to the women who chose themselves.
Because choosing yourself is courage.
Early detection saved my mother’s life.
And if bringing a mobile mammogram unit into the community means one more family doesn’t have to endure late-stage discovery — then this work is sacred.
To every woman reading this:
If you are 40 or approaching 40 — schedule it.
If you have a family history — schedule it.
If you’ve been putting it off — schedule it.
We cannot pour into our families, our communities, our businesses, or our callings if we neglect ourselves.
Loretta’s Daughter LLC. reminded us that legacy isn’t just what we leave behind.
It’s what we protect while we’re still here.
With sincerity and love,
Tameka Nichole, Your Beauty Entertainer
