Project Pink’d (projectpinkd.org) is excited to announce a new member of the Board of Directors, Jovan Johnson.
Her journey to Project Pink’d is a little different from others. In January of 2016, she became part of a club that nobody actually wants to join. At the time of her breast cancer diagnosis, she was a single mother to my daughter living in Charlotte, NC. As she navigated her way through treatment, she was told about this place called “Pink House”. The Pink House had something for every woman regardless of where they were in their breast cancer journey. She started attending different events and had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful women.
Fast forward to 2022, she was back in Omaha and looking for an organization that was similar to Pink House. Enters Project Pink’d. She was connected to Haley Amstrong on the Executive Advisory Committee, and she would eventually meet with Dave, Malinda and Shawn and be extended the invitation to join the EAC. While on the EAC she started volunteering my time and doing whatever she could to help at different events. She was able to see Project Pink’d’s mission in action. The survivors all in various stages of their breast cancer journey were offered education, resources and support.
From the moment of diagnosis through end of life, Project Pink’d, Inc. provides tools, resources and a strong network to strengthen and renew the mind, body and spirit of breast cancer survivors in Nebraska and Western Iowa. They have a vision for each survivor in the community to thrive beyond their diagnosis, disease and treatment. Learn more at projectpinkd.org.
