Greetings Sorors of THE mighty NACAC, 

Busy! Boy we are all so busy! Busy with work, school, church, family, friends, events, kids activities, deadlines and often times too busy to connect with those that we love and cherish. 

I was talking to my bestie from Jersey this past weekend while I was folding clothes. I stopped, sat down and really connected with her, leaned in and gave her my full attention. She and I both needed a moment to connect and to value each other's company without interruptions. I encourage you as we enter the last quarter of the year with the holidays approaching, lean in and let's connect with each other. Let's build trusting and long lasting relationships. We're more alike than different. 

As I was finishing a team call for work Monday morning this quote popped up on my email that read, "There's a lot that is good in your life - don't take it for granted. Don't get so focused on the struggles that you miss the gift of today." - Unknown

Sisterly, 

Tali R. Redd

From 2016 to 2020, about 2 in 3 female breast cancer cases were diagnosed at a localized stage, meaning the cancer had not spread outside the breast. About 1 in 4 female breast cancers were found at a regional stage (the cancer had spread to nearby lymph nodes, tissues, or organs), and 6% were found at a distant stage (the cancer had spread to distant parts of the body).Mammograms are the best way to find breast cancer early, when it is easier to treat and before big enough to feel or cause symptoms.
