Yeah. 28 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: I grew up in southern California and San Diego, and 29 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: my dream and my whole life was to be a 30 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: clothing designer. And I always made my own clothes growing up, 31 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: and reworked like their store clothes. And I went to 32 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: fashion like straight out of high school. I went to 33 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: fashion school, and I was like, I'm gonna move to 34 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: New York and be a Calvin Klein calibliner.

And so yeah, from being from California, 37 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: the skateboard industry is um what's popular there, you know, 38 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: action sports. So I started my career as a clothing designer, 39 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: mostly doing denim um for skateboard brands, and I fell 40 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 1: in love with the you know, Indigo and the actual 41 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: textile of denim. And I've yeah, I've created I've sold 42 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: millions of genes how in the world. And you know, 43 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: Cape Abreasts just started just as one event to help 44 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: one person, UM twenty years ago. You know, someone in 45 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: my community was diagnosed and and my life changed forever. Yeah, 46 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: And so I mean that's hie with the skateboarding. Was 47 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 1: that that sort of brought the art world a lot 48 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: to you? Is that how you would just describe it? Yeah, 49 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: I mean the skateboard community is so creative. I had 50 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: no idea about that either. That was interesting. You like, 51 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: skateboarding comes from the streets, right and um street are 52 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: is on the streets, and it's just like whole community 53 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: of you know, people creating art, whether it's murals or graffiti. 54 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 1: And then it that turned into graphics that you would 55 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: see on the bottom of skateboards. So I started to, 56 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: you know, work within this community, and I was having exhibitions, um, 57 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: taking art from this community and putting it in a 58 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: gallery setting, which had never really been done before. Was 59 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: just like oh, there's a mural on the street, or 60 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: here's a skateboard. So I had, you know, my whole community, 61 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: my peers, everyone, UM was an artist, and that was 62 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: where you know, one of the artists that I was 63 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: working with. Her name was Margaret kill Gallan. She was 64 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: a painter and um she was well known for doing 65 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: sign paintings in the Mission District of San Francisco, and 66 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: she was diagnosed with breast cancer. And you know, twenty 67 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: years ago, things were a lot different than they are today. Um, today, 68 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: you can you know, raise fifty grand just by doing 69 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: one Instagram post, you know. Um, So back then, we 70 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: had to gather, you know, we had to get together 71 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: to raise money. And so I was like, well, let's 72 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: do an art show with all these awesome people. But 73 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: instead of having the artist, you know, donate a painting 74 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: or something, and I was like, well, let's tie it 75 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: to the cause. So I came up with the concept 76 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: of making the breadcast, which is just like the cast 77 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: I made on you twenty years ago, and you know, 78 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: having the artists paint them and and that was it. 79 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: It was just one show to help one person, and 80 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: it's grown into this global movement of prevention and early detection. Wow. 81 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: So I mean it is incredible And I've talked a 82 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: lot about this on my Instagram. Um, if you guys 83 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: want to go check out the cast that Shaney made 84 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: for me, And it's awesome what you guys do. So 85 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: you basically what is it? It's not paper machee. I 86 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: was trying going to describe to somebody what you made 87 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: the cast out of when you did it to us 88 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: is that it's plaster. So plaster Okay. A lot of 89 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: people use this material. It comes in rolls. You can 90 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: get it at any art supply store, and it's a 91 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 1: gauze that's impregnated with plaster and when you get it, 92 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 1: wet it, you know, liquefies and um. A lot of 93 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: people use it in school to make like face masks 94 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: and things like that in elementary school. Yeah. So yeah, 95 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: it's a material that's available to everyone for modeling and molding, 96 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: and I just decided to use it for breast instead 97 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: of something else. Yeah. Well, it's so cool because the 98 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 1: in product. For me, at least, the whole experience was 99 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: extremely empowering as a woman, because you know, I think 100 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: a lot of times to our breast are so sexualized, 101 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: and that is such an interesting thing because it's such 102 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: a feminine part of our Like I felt so feminine 103 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: doing this and I felt so imp Howard doing this, 104 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: but I didn't feel like sexualized. It just felt like 105 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: a beautiful act to honor my body. And then what's 106 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: amazing is once you make these cool cast um, you 107 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: have these artists come in and decorate them and do 108 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: whatever their interpretation of the person that was casted, or 109 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: just whatever they want to paint on the cast um. 110 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: They put it together and it turns into this really 111 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: beautiful creation that you know, people can go bid on 112 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: or there's this exhibit that's happening right now in Nashville, 113 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: and it's just a really really cool concept. Thank you. 114 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: That makes me so happy. And it's really the casting 115 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: experience itself is so intimate. You know, most times, like 116 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: I didn't know you before I casted you. Right, most times, 117 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: I'm needing someone for the first time and they're naked 118 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: in front of me and I'm rubbing plaster all over 119 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: and it's like, you have you are being brave by 120 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: putting yourself in a vulnerable position in front of a 121 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,239 Speaker 1: stranger for the sake of something that's you know, bigger 122 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: than all of us. Yeah, it's a it's a it's 123 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: that the moment and the trust that people give to me, 124 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: is something that I will always cherish. Well, I think 125 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: that's a really interesting point that you make, that you 126 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: know you're making yourself vulnerable for some for a bigger thing. 127 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: And I was thinking about this when I was I 128 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: knew I was gonna talk to you today, and I thought, 129 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: you know, what's so unfortunate to me about this entire um. 130 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,679 Speaker 1: The thing is that we as people or humans or whatever, 131 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: don't necessarily give attention to to this kind of thing 132 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: in our life, like breast cancer until it affects you 133 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: or someone you know. And when you guys first originally 134 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: reached out to me, I had just gone through this 135 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: with one of my very best friends, and it was 136 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: shocking to me because I didn't even think of myself 137 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: as being at the age where whatever that means, even 138 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: where people do get diagnosed with breast cancer or like, 139 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: I had some sort of mentality that only people with 140 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: big boobs get breast cancer or something, and my friend 141 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: was neither, you know, and so it was shocking, and 142 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: thankfully she's okay. But I was so happy to be 143 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: able to do something for a cause like this. Why 144 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: do you think that is that we do that as humans? 145 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: Where we just don't pay attention to things until they 146 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: affect us. Oh god, I mean that is a massive question. 147 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's like when I started 148 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: to keep abreast twenty years ago, I was shocked. I 149 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: didn't know. No one talked, No one was talking to 150 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 1: me about my breast health, not my doctor, not my mother, 151 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: not you know, at school. So it is one of 152 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: I mean, and women's health in general, that's a whole 153 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: other conversation is like doesn't have enough attention, and we 154 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: really have to rely on each other to be able 155 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: to talk about these things and bring them up and 156 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: normalize all these conversations, you know, which is something we've 157 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: seen a lot in the last years of you know, 158 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: normalizing things, you know, like same sex marriage, like you know, 159 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: like the topics are endless. So we really are in 160 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: this new world of normalizing topics that hopefully will be 161 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: better for future generations. I mean, one of my best 162 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: friends is going through breast cancer right now, and she 163 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: is just constantly in shock of her experience and the 164 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: things that the doctors just don't tell her. Yeah, I 165 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: think that's so common. I mean, I like what you 166 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: mentioned too about this being something about us educating ourselves. 167 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 1: And you and I were talking a little bit before 168 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: we started podcasting about this is Breast cancer Awareness Month, 169 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: but you you guys that keep a Breast referred to 170 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: it or as breast cancer Prevention Month, and that's really 171 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: what y'all's main focus is. So you have these exhibits 172 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: and you have all the casts, but let's talk about 173 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: the other things that you guys are doing to kind 174 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 1: of start this movement, like you're talking about, of just 175 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: educating ourselves, of being aware and having the knowledge ourselves 176 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: and then helping other women to do the same. Do 177 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: you want to tell everyone about the app? Yeah? And 178 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: I mean it's like you hear all the time, especially 179 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: during this month, it's like there's enough awareness. Oh my god, 180 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: no more pink or pink ribbons or blood. What kind 181 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: of gets lost? Right, Like when there's just people don't 182 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: really pay attention to it. Yeah, And I mean the 183 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: truth is, and what we were just talking about, there 184 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: isn't enough awareness because we need education and our focus 185 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: as an organization is the younger audience and it is 186 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: about prevention and early detection. So we are goal, like 187 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: we're saying, is to normalize this topic and to get 188 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: you know, women form a young age. Men can also 189 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: get breast cancer. UM to know their bodies. So we 190 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: talk about knowing your body and knowing what's normal for 191 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: you and if you find something that isn't normal, to 192 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: go see your doctor right away. And then also to 193 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: you know, teach our audience how to be their own 194 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,719 Speaker 1: health advocates, because many young women will get turned away 195 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: even if it's really something serious, but doctors will say, hey, 196 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: oh you're too young. This doesn't happen to young women. 197 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: And so we as you know, individuals, have to educate 198 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: each other and have to you know, fight and advocate 199 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: for our own rights as patients. And the best thing 200 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: about all of that is cup Abreast has a brand 201 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: new app. Everyone, if you're listening to this podcast, make 202 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: sure you download our app. It's free. It's um called 203 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: the keup Abreast App, and our goal with this app 204 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: is breast health for all. So we want to give 205 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 1: women everywhere free access to healthcare, which is a very 206 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: hot topic at the moment, and it's um. You know, people, 207 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: not everyone lives in the city, not everyone can go 208 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: to a clinic, you know, so this app will show 209 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: you how to do yourself check. It also has a 210 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: very cool feature where you can set an automatic reminder 211 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: so we all forget, we don't want to do it, 212 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: but it's important that you check your breasts at the 213 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: same time every month, So the Apple send you a reminder, 214 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: just a little text message once a month, a time 215 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: to check your breasts and then if by the chance, 216 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: hopefully not, but if you do happen to find a lump. 217 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: We have a partnership with an amazing healthcare company called 218 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: carbon Health, and so you can connect with a virtual 219 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: care appointment with a medical doctor from carbon Health within 220 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: ten minutes. And so that's never ever happened before where 221 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: this time period has become so short of being able 222 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: to get access and talk to a doctor right away. 223 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: And you know, if you guys do determine it something serious, 224 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: the doctor can refer you to a screening that is 225 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: local to you. UM. So we're super proud of this 226 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: um this new app. And you know, with one in 227 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: eight women being diagnosed with breast cancer, we ask all 228 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 1: of you to download it and share it with your 229 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: eight breast buds. Yeah. I actually thought the part about 230 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: the doctor was huge. I had another friend recently and 231 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: go through a little bit of a scare and when 232 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: she first figured out that there was something to be 233 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: concerned about. I mean, the way time in between that 234 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: and then the appointment to get that checked out, I 235 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: mean it was weeks and that was so emotional for her, 236 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 1: just I mean the fear, the anxiety, all of those things. 237 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: So I think that part. Yeah, I mean, it's such 238 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: a vulnerable thing anyway, So being able to talk to 239 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: somebody quickly, even if it's just for the comfort of 240 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: knowing where to go, I think that's a huge thing also, 241 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: And like we're busy, you know, like any you know, 242 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: like you have families, people have work. You know, you're 243 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: a lot of women are just be like, oh, I 244 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: have my annual um, you know, in eight months. I'll 245 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: tell them then. So it's really, um, we're really proud 246 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: of this partnership of Carbon Health to be able to 247 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: you know, really the whole goal of that early detection 248 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: saves lives. Yeah, well that's what I'm One of the 249 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: really interesting statistics to me on your website is that 250 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: of diagnosed breast cancers are detected by women who fill 251 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: a lump, So it isn't necessarily when you go get 252 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: your annual or you're getting a mammogram. It's something people 253 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: are finding themselves. And I have to say, like, I don't. 254 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: I don't feel at all aware of how to even 255 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: do that or what steps to take. So I think 256 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: this app is a huge, huge deal. Yeah, And that's like, 257 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: you know, you just said it, and we try to 258 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: tell people, you know, you can't do it wrong. The 259 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: whole point is just getting in there. It's like just 260 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: a breast massage. You know, if you're gonna like give 261 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: a back massage, just do the same thing for your boobs. 262 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: And it's never you know, it's changing people's mindset away 263 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: from fear to like self love. You know, we you're 264 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: never looking for cancer because you know, if that's what 265 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: you're looking for, that you could find. Yeah, you know, 266 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: but you're it's a moment of just getting to know 267 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: what's normal for you and whether you're lying in bed 268 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: massaging your boobs, watching you know, the office, um, a couch, um, 269 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's you don't have to be so 270 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: clinical about it, right right. I like that about the 271 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: self love, just looking at taking care of our bodies 272 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: and our health because that's the one thing that it 273 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: seems like you don't have a lot of control over 274 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: and all. I mean, I guess ultimately we don't, but 275 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: we the best we can do is take the right 276 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: steps to be preventative. Yeah, I mean, you're doing a 277 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: face mask. I don't want wrinkles, but I don't want 278 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: breast cancer either. O. You guys want the social groups 279 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: while are you doing your Facebook? There you go? I 280 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: love that. What do you say to women? I mean, 281 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: do you meet a lot of young women who are 282 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: kind of like the mentality that I was saying, or 283 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: they're just like, I mean I'm too young, or though 284 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: that can't happen to me, or like when do you 285 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: tell people to start doing this kind of stuff? Oh? 286 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: I love this question. I mean we meet people all 287 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: the time that are like, oh, it's not on my 288 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: family right, Yeah, No, I'm good. I'm a vegetarian, I'm 289 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: a yogi. Yeah it's gonna happen to me. And um, 290 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: the thing is, and the thing that we learned many 291 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: years ago was that it's the breast cancer. Isn't this 292 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: hereditary disease that people think it is. And that's where 293 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: that misconception cuts from. Um, really, it's only ten of 294 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: new cancer cases are related to family history. Wow. Ninety 295 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: percent of all new cases are have no families are 296 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: related to the environment. Wow, that is so interesting to me. Yes, 297 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 1: we have one of our programs that keep a US 298 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: is called Non Toxic Revolution and Non Toxic Revolution. When 299 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: this program was started based on this fact of like, 300 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: holy shit, this is an environmental disease. And so we 301 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: dove really really really deep and um work with many 302 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: organizations to come up with, you know, action steps that 303 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: everyone can take to lower their risk by reducing the 304 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: environmental exposure to breast cancer. What are do you have 305 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: any of the statistics of what might be the main 306 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: causes is from environmental stuff? Oh gosh, I mean that's 307 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: the thing is a super overwhelming right. So if you 308 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,959 Speaker 1: visit our website Non Toxic Revolution dog Card, there's a 309 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: lot of information on there and we break it out. 310 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: IT'SO categories, so we break it into your mouth, your body, um, 311 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: plastic sets, and heart and soul. So it's like the 312 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: different things that you're eating, What are you using to 313 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: clean your house? What beauty products are you using? What 314 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: type of mattress are you sleeping on? You know, there's 315 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 1: like many chemicals and things that are you know, indracrine 316 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,719 Speaker 1: destructors and that increase our risk and especially young women. 317 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: You know, when you are a teenager, like most women 318 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: are using like eighteen beauty products a day, right, You're 319 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: like deodorant, perfume, hair spray. How many things are you 320 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: putting on your face? And most of these products aren't 321 00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: um you know, tested, the chemicals and these products aren't 322 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: tested and they're not tested being used together. So some 323 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: of these ingredients may have a very very small exposure, 324 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: but over a period of time, and in your teenage years, 325 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: your bodies are more susceptible to these chemicals because you're 326 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: developing and you're growing. You know, these things become a 327 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: high risk when you're you know, exposure is micro, but 328 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: over many, many many years. Oh my gosh, I'm like 329 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: about I just pulled up this website. This is the 330 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: kind of stuff that's fascinating to me though, because like, 331 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 1: our skin is our number one organ, right, and nobody 332 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 1: really talks about that or they're starting to.

Yeah, it's not a mainstream conversation and 338 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: it's still in the conversation of like the whole foods. Well, yeah, exactly, 339 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: Like if you're super granul or you're like a hipster, 340 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: we'll talk about it. Yeah.

I was just thinking about all of 351 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: this stuff that you guys are spreading. What is the 352 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 1: most rewarding part for you of all this kind of 353 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: work and helping women? Oh my god, it's really just 354 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: like it keeps right now, it's our twentieth anniversary, so 355 00:20:55,280 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: just that fact is like incredible to know that we've 356 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: been doing this for twenty years all around the world, 357 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: and so we have literally educated millions of people. And 358 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: the thing that I am really the most proud of 359 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: is that Keep Abreast is the first organization ever to 360 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: speak directly to young women about prevention and early detection. 361 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: The conversation has always been about your grandma, your mother, 362 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: get a mammogram, the cure, research, drug research, let's get 363 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: a cure, and like that's all important, but young you know, 364 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: more than twelve thousand women under forty every year being 365 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: diagnosed with breast cancer, and those twelve thousand women are 366 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: also important, And so yeah, I'm so proud that we 367 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: really are able to speak to a new generation about 368 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: breast cancer. And my hope is that are the work 369 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: that we've done over the last twenty years. You know 370 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: that you said, we'll be able to start seeing a 371 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: difference in the next twenty years, right, like if the 372 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: mentality just starts at a younger age. I mean, I 373 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: truly that is exactly what happened to me with my 374 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: friend and thankfully she's okay, as I said, but um, yeah, 375 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: I just remember feeling like what this can't be happening 376 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: to us, you know, like why how would this already 377 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: be happening? And it's now I'm like noticing it even 378 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: more amongst my age group, and I'm not even forty yet. 379 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: So it's just so interesting. I think it's such an 380 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: important thing to start thinking about early. Um. Like I said, 381 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: the exhibit runs in Nashville through October. It's at Riverside 382 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 1: Revival in East Nashville.

I agree with that. My artist 437 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: and I don't know if you guys have seen this 438 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: on my Instagram, but um, my artists made mine look 439 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: like a disco ball. She told me that she went 440 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: and kind of just searched velvet's edge and she was like, 441 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: how do I capture the velvet and the edge. So 442 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: she made the outside look like a disco ball and 443 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: the inside looked like pink velvet.
