FRESH 4 A CURE


Phat Girl Fresh partnered with Kawambee Dorsey a very talented makeup artist and Todra Mcghee a highly skilled hair stylist, for the “FRESH 4 A CURE” initiative.  The “Fresh 4 A Cure” initiative is a way to honor women who are living with or through illnesses such as breast cancer and lupus.  On a personal note I know that breast cancer is a horrible disease that has the potential to reduce you to nothing. From losing hair to nausea and fatigue, many women get lost in the illness.  Our goal is to do things to give them a little uplift, in spite of their situation.  Today, we had the pleasure of giving one deserving survivor a fresh look and a plenty of laughs.  I know that she felt that we were blessing her but in all honesty, being in her presence was a blessing to us.   With a smile as radiant as the sun, a testimony of unwavering faith, it is without question that she is, PHAT GIRL FRESH!!!

Parthenia Starling- Williams is a wife, a mother, a sister, a friend but most of all she is a child of God…….. And SHE IS A SURVIVOR!  At the age of 40, Parthenia was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer.  Despite her diagnoses, she continued to trust God and remain positive.  In the midst of her storm, Parthenia has managed to be a source of positive energy for many women who share her struggle.  She is quick to admit that she had her down moments where she was depressed and discouraged but her trust in God always brought her back to that place of hope and faith.  She says that although it is strange, having cancer taught her to appreciate greater things such as friends, family and life. At the age of 42, Parthenia is newly married and very optimistic about life and all that it holds for her.  She is proof that a positive attitude can brighten any dark situation.


It was an honor to have been able to do something to brighten Parthenia’s day.  She received a haircut, color and curl from Todra, professional makeup from Kawambee and a gift bag loaded with goodies from Phat Girl Fresh. This is only a small token for being a resource of knowledge, courage, faith and hope.
