The Power of my Sister Circle...




This past weekend, I had my "TaTa Titties" party.  My girlfriends made the whole thing possible.  It was my idea to have the party but, I realized that my sheckles (money, cash, moola) were low and so, I wanted to cancel it.  Not only did my girlfriends pay for the venue but, they paid for the food, beverages, dishes and cutlery.  I handled the decorations because I have a love affair with crafting.  SN:  Get a load of my tin cans that I painted gold and covered with lace.  They served as vases for my tissue paper roses.


The main reason I wanted to have this party was to raise awareness for the BRCA1 and BRCA2: Cancer Risk and Genetic Testing.  I'm grateful for the testing because that's how I found out that I have the BRCA1 genetic mutation; which is why I'm having the prophylactic double mastectomy.  I also wanted to give my breasts the proper send-off!  However, the party turned into a celebration of sister hood.  My sister circle is strong y'all!


You know RW Designs had to create photo signs!  This a photo of my best friend, NeShanta and I.  She did all the food and even ordered some special items for me to wear on surgery day!


This is Tiffany!  She made me the cutest button earrings that say "TaTa Titties" and "Bye Bye Boobies".


This is Carole.  She owns a resale shop called Yezterdayz.  She made me three containers of amazing shea butter.


Carole and Ashanti are both part of Thirsty 4 Vintage.  I was so grateful that they came out!


My girl Tiffany again!





My girlfriend Janelle of Never Dessert You made me the most beautiful and, the most delicious titty cupcakes and Mastectomy cake pops.  They were a hit and really made the theme of the party come to life!



There were Titty Games and all sorts of FUNNERS!  There was the "Stuff Your Bra" game, the "Titty Word Scramble" and the "Make a Bra Out of Tissue" game.  There were gag gifts for all the winners of course!  

It was so uplifting and inspiring you guys.  Each woman present spoke about me in such a beautiful and compassionate way.  I was humbled and floored by the out pouring of love and support!



I know this was a long post y'all but, I'm so grateful that I was able to have this party.




Oh!  And since it was an all ladies affair, the men in my life, made a video for me!  Check it out!

Finally, pin the hell out this party and share it with your friends!
