Bright
Happy
Eternally Hopeful
Warrior
Though physically frail, her spirits remained high as she made her way to my studio, adorned in one of the most dazzling shades of pink I had ever seen. With a flamingo necklace around her neck and cherished family photos in hand, she glided in gracefully, declaring, "These are the most precious things in my life."
"It takes a big thing to wake you up, and my diagnosis did just that. Before cancer, my spark had dimmed. However, when I learned of my limited time, I embraced every moment and lived life to the fullest." She found it challenging to carry the weight of being labeled a warrior and cancer fighter. "My ancestors may have instilled tenacity in me, but these expectations are draining. I'm tired of fighting; I just want to spend the time that I have left dancing in my living room and loving awkwardly." - Shandy Roye (1968 - 2023)
