“Courageous Diva”

Breast Cancer Awareness Advocate-Spokesperson

Mission: To reach, inspire and encourage women as they fight their battle with breast cancer as well as provide them with much needed resources that can help them with their journey.

The “endless field of pink flowers” header was selected to help depict my continuous, bold journey as a two-time breast cancer survivor. As there are several paths thru the flowers leading to unknown places and spaces, I move forward daring to live boldly. I invite other women to join me, “Courageous Diva” in the fight against breast cancer.

Thankful for the seasons… “Dare To Live Boldly” 

While giving “Thanks” for the seasonal changes, Courageous Diva celebrates the journey as a breast cancer survivor by living Boldly. You are invited to join me as I continue to reach, inspire, and support as well as share a bit of laughter.  Today is a great time to share words of encouragement with a family member, friend, coworker, or anyone facing breast cancer (or any other cancer). Want some laughter, contact me about booking a laughter yoga session…

“Dare 2 Life Boldly” Moment:  In September 2018, I started a group entitled, “Courageous Diva’s Circle of Inspiration and Hope”.   The purpose of the group is to  educate, inform, encourage, inspire and give hope. Each month, a special-interest speaker would share their story of inspiration while other presenters offered empowering information and fun activities.  Although there is no charge to attend, registration is required.  Click here to  register and for more information.

The key to battling this war with grace and dignity.
I am here to support you through your journey.

  10. Hello Ms Barbara
    Aka Courageous Diva I love what you are doing! I definitely can see us collaborating and supporting each otherโ€™s mission. We have similar purposes. I would love to come and share my testimony to your group. The challenge is the time put God is a Way Maker. I will need to plan ahead. I normally pick up my niece and nephew from school in West Baltimore at that time.

    Stay Blessed and Full of Joy!!!!
