About Cancer Baddies:

Cancer Baddies is a survivor-led global community helping women redefine themselves through every stage of the cancer experience. Founded by fitness professional, Amanda Butler after her own Stage II breast cancer diagnosis at 32, Cancer Baddies was built from a simple realization: the medical system is extraordinary at treating cancer, but what happens during and after treatment ends is largely ignored.

“Cancer Baddies exists for the part nobody helps you with. The day treatment ends, you’re left processing the trauma of it all while trying to figure out who you are now,” said Butler.

“Our medical system has gotten really great at keeping young people alive. What it hasn’t figured out is what happens after: how to help the person who is still living, not just surviving,” she added.

Survivors are sent home “cured” and expected to figure out the rest alone. Identity. Body image. Relationships. Intimacy. Grief. Confidence. Purpose. The emotional and psychological aftermath of cancer is its own journey, and there was no dedicated space to navigate it.

Cancer Baddies fills that gap. Through the Hotter After Cancer workshop series, monthly support calls, immersive wellness retreats, and a growing digital membership platform, the community provides what the post-treatment space has been missing: real programming led by survivors who understand the lived experience, validated by clinical expertise, and designed to work with the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

The approach is body-based and trauma-informed. Clinical expertise, Breathwork, EFT tapping, guided meditation, and journaling, are woven into every program alongside expert-led conversations on body image, dating, intimacy, and self-acceptance. Every modality is chosen with intention.

Cancer Baddies is open to all cancer types and all backgrounds. While we work to support young patients and survivors, inclusivity is a core value. The community currently reaches over 150,000 people across social platforms, with 2,500+ newsletter subscribers and a growing membership platform.

This is not a support group. This is a movement. Because surviving was never the finish line. More about Cancer Baddies:

Ilieen Ramirez selected to participate on Kaiser Permanente’s 2017 Rose Parade® Float Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Watts Counseling and Learning Center (WCLC).

At only 11 years old, Ilieen Ramirez is dedicated to helping the community, especially the children who have lost a loved one to Cancer and those who have been victims of crimes.

“Kids Can Cope taught me that I can develop from my grief,” says Ilieen Ramirez. She continues “I learned that I don’t have to stay in this position forever, that it’s OK to cry, but that I can move on.”

Due to her dedication she will have the honor of being in the tournament of roses in the float of Kaiser Permanente Watts Counseling and Learning Center representing Kids Can Cope.

“All of the emotions in each stage of grief…I’ve felt them before. It feels good that I get to show others how to get through this. I get to tell them what I learned through my loss and show them they’re not alone.” concluded Miss Ramirez.

Ilieen has received a recognition as one of the youth leaders of 2016 for being an example and pride of the New Generations of Guatemalans in U.S.A.

Also here is what Kaiser Permanente Southern CA Region stated on a press release on December 14, 2016, about Ilieen Ramirez: “Through her participation in the WCLC, Ilieen has begun to heal from these painful experiences. Now, she gives back to the community by helping other kids who are grieving the loss of their loved ones. Ilieen honors her grandparent’s memories by participating in community events that help youth to build character and develop self-esteem, confidence, discipline, and empathy. At just 11-years-of-age, Ilieen exemplifies the importance of community support and the beauty of giving back.”

GLAAD Awards Public Relations Firm Discriminates on Media Company

B|W|R Public Relations must be fire immediately. Please do not sent any donations or support to GLAAD. They are working with racist people like B|W|R Public Relations.

Read the letter:

Thursday, April 3, 2014

Sarah Kate Ellis, CEO and President
GLAAD
5455 Wilshire Blvd #1500
Los Angeles, CA 90036

RE: 25th Annual GLAAD Media Awards on April 12, 2014

Dear Ms. Ellis,
I am so sorry to send you this group email but I want you all to see and read it. At the same time I want to express how I feel about your PR firm B|W|R Public Relations declining our application to cover your 25th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles at the Beverly Hilton on April 12, 2014.

First, the invitation to apply came directly from B|W|R Public Relations and now they decline us. That is not nice to do. Anyway, I feel our outlet is been discriminated against, and the funny thing is that we live in a world that is very diverse with so many people of different backgrounds. I can assure you the words Diverse and Diversity are used in powerful speeches all over the world especially here in the USA. As I have done my research and homework on GLAAD, you also stand to help or raise awareness of a big population as we do. But we are not just serving one group; we are serving and working with all regardless of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, etc.

I would like you or your staff to contact the B|W|R Public Relations PR firm and tell them about this complaint and to issue an apology to me and my team that we are proud of the work GLAAD does and we honor your organization but we would not tolerate or accept discrimination.

So, please let me know what will happen, and clear the air because this is pure discrimination from an organization like yours that is supposed to be fighting human discrimination in the USA but all over the world.
I am so sorry to come to you this way, but I know for fact that the PR firm BWR Public Relations in the past has been hard to work with and has approved other outlets that do not even publish their content. They need to learn about mainstream media like us, Diversity News Magazine, and all the masses that we are reaching not only through diversitynewsmagazine.org, our parent company site http://diversitynewspublications.com/ but also via our Youtube channels at http://youtube.com/diversitynews, https://www.youtube.com/user/diversitynewstv,
https://www.youtube.com/user/DNTVBloopersour Blip TV at http://blip.tv/diversity-news-tv, our online radio show at http://diversitynewsradio.diversitynewspublications.com/, my own personal website/blog at
http://stevenescobar.diversitynewspublications.com/ and oh course our social media such Facebook fanpage at https://www.facebook.com/DiversityNewsMagazine, Instagram: http://instagram.com/diversitynewsmagazine,
Twitter at https://twitter.com/diversitynewsee, Pinterest at http://www.pinterest.com/diversitynews/, Tumbler at http://dispatchusa.tumblr.com/ and the list goes on.
If those masses are not important for your organization, then you have the wrong mission and purpose, and are in the wrong business of not helping our community.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me any time directly at 213-321-9408 or 818-787-1249 or reply to all the emails; they get forwarded to my iphone.
Please be aware that I have cc'ed some people and I would not want to get them involved, so I hope this matter will be resolved as soon as possible by you communicating with your PR firm B|W|R Public Relations. I sincerely wish to hear back from you soon,

Sincerely,

Esteban Escobar, President & and Executive Editor-In-Chief
