What We Do
Organizational Goals
- To educate women 25-45 that breast cancer is not just for older women.
- To increase the number of women completing monthly breast self checks.
- To increase the number of women completing regular clinical breast exams at their healthcare provider visits.
- To provide community, information, and encouragement.
Our Success in 2020-25
- Provided community grants to West Cancer Foundation to support underserved communities for testing and patient care.
- Distributed more than 70,000 shower-hanger cards across America - partnering with Ryan and Rose, West Cancer Foundation, Christ Community Health Systems, UTHS, Memphis Health Dept., etc.
- Spoke at events (Slalom's Golf Tournament, CityCurrent SPARK Show, West Cancer Center, Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital Nurse-Family Partnership, and more) - sharing Keesha's story, our story, and the importance of early detection.
What We Have Planned
- Work through our partners to provide additional community grants to support women who cannot afford cancer screening.
- Partner with like-minded nonprofits.
- Speak at events, sharing Keesha's story and the importance of early detection. If you have access to groups where our story is appropriate, please contact us directly at info@warriorprincess.org. Examples include women's groups, men's groups, conventions, universities, local media outlets, and national media. And yes, our dream is to be on the Today Show!
- Create a Warrior Ambassador program to empower volunteers to share knowledge about breast cancer early detection with their friends and organizations.
- Please let us know if you have other ideas for how we can engage in your community.

Message to Women

Message to Men
- As men, we are sometimes removed from this very important messaging. Please take a moment and read the article that started a movement: Keesha's father shares his story, "The question every dad should ask his daughter......" Please consider posting to your social media outlets - and include our hashtag #AskHer to help the story go viral.
