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.
