What a pleasure P.A.C.I.F.I.C.A 🙌🏽 This week I worked with Wellthwise to help promote financial literacy.
I then attended the Pink Ribbon Breakfast held by P.A.C.I.F.I.C.A with my friend Ange Malakai who is not only an award winning keynote speaker, but also does a great impromptu Michael Jackson dance.
Pacific women in New Zealand are 52% more likely to die from breast cancer within 10 years of diagnosis compared to Pākehā (European ancestry) women.
Pacific women have the highest rates of life-threatening Stage 3 and Stage 4 breast cancers at diagnosis.
These statistics are unsettling. Please check your breasts and don't hesitate when you find a lump. Get it checked by your GP and if you have medical insurance, use it! That's what it is there for.
Today lit a fire under me around women's health. Watch this space for upcoming events.
