Nikia Hammonds-Blakely was only 16 when she had to face the music – breast cancer. Feeling alone with no one to talk to, young Nikia took to singing and songwriting.
Years later, she would not only use her voice to empower others through motivational speeches and songs, but also share it with the world by joining Susan G. Komen to advocate on Capitol Hill for young women. It’s people like Nikia who inspire us to continue leading the charge in advocacy to advance breast health and cancer care policy, so others can find their voice when they need it most.
