Veterans Day is a time to honor the lives of those who have bravely served our country. As we pause to appreciate their sacrifices, we reflect not just on their time in uniform but on their lifelong journey of courage, dedication, and, often, a legacy that continues through the generations.

Early detection is vital in combating breast cancer, one of the most common cancers among women. Regular screenings, like annual mammograms starting at age 40, can catch abnormalities early, improving treatment outcomes. Self-exams are also crucial for monitoring breast health.

By prioritizing screenings and self-exams, women can proactively manage their breast health and improve survival rates. Remember, early detection saves lives—awareness is key.

Recently, my mom, Rawah Hassan, and I joined the Hackberry Creek Women’s Club, hoping to connect with new people and explore our community.

This club is more than just a social circle—it’s become a space for shared stories, new friendships, and exciting experiences. We can't wait to see what’s next!
