Weasler auditorium of the Marquette
University located at Milwaukee; W.I in the United States will come alive
on October 28th as Nollywood actress, Juliet Uzoma Aguwa stages her fashion
show tagged, ‘Fashion for the Cure.’ According
to the mother of two and the founder of the Courage to Dare Foundation, the
show will feature African and western designs while also serving as a platform
to further give succour to women living with breast cancer.
“The
‘Fashion for the Cure’ show is aimed at helping the African woman cope
with the numerous challenges they face in the quest to cure and manage
the dreaded disease. It is also geared towards giving hope to those affected by
Breast Cancer and women in countries that lack the resources to diagnose and
manage the disease.” She said.
The
beautiful actress who herself survived the pangs of the disease when she was
diagnosed of aggressive breast cancer stage 3c in 2008, also revealed that she
is driven by the need to provide access to information about the disease which
is posing a serious threat to mankind.
“Most
people think breast cancer is a disease suffered only by women. It will
interest most people to know that men are also prone to the disease. Through
Courage to Dare Foundation, I am determined to ensure that individuals of
African descent have access to information about breast cancer and also have
access to preventive mammogram screenings.”
