Alicia Keys posted a photo of a beautiful breast cancer survivor along with her powerful story.

Alicia Keys posted this photo of a woman who is a survivor of breast cancer looking absolutely flawless. She captioned it: “🙌🏽 All I can say is WOWWW!!! Look at this beautiful woman @ihartericka. The heart of a woman is so powerful!! Stories like hers continue to remind us to love ourselves and our journeys as they are and also to go and get checked and break the taboos surrounding breast cancer. I just learned that African Americans have a 42% higher mortality rate because we don’t get an opportunity for early diagnosis or the right treatment. WHAT!!! This makes her message all the more important. Thank you @ihartericka for sharing your beauty and wisdom and journey with us! 😘😘💪🏽💪🏽✊🏽✊🏽
#breastcancer #breastcancerawareness #getchecked.”

The woman in the picture told her powerful story. She said  “A child saw me topless this weekend at #M4BW and said, “She’s broken!” I’m going to keep taking my top off until the system is fixed and even little kids recognize this as whole. (And I kinda agree haha!).”

Alicia Keys is helping us understand that these women are strong, powerful, and beautiful no matter what. They have been through so much and we should make sure that we get tested regularly.
