As the Patient Navigator for the Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program, KYL has been a game-changer in my community outreach

This month we are featuring the doctors of the Uzima Association, our charity partner in Burundi Africa, who have been educating women about breast health with the help of Know Your Lemons.

"After my lumpectomy, Know Your Lemons helped me learn my 'new normal'. It’s a big reason why I’m now an educator with them!"

“I didn’t know that a nipple change could be a sign of breast cancer. The day I saw #KNOWYOURLEMONS, my life-changing journey started."

"The Know Your Lemons campaign saved my life!"

“Between the incredible Know Your Lemons graphics and the app, it's hard NOT to know what you should be doing and feeling for every month.”

“I am not a doctor, a teacher or even a very confident public speaker, but I now know that to play a role in the fight against cancer you don't have to be. As an Educator you don't need to give a formal lecture, you just need to get a conversation started and be approachable.”

Originally from Italy, Denise Baldacci is one of our Certified Global Educators living in Berlin, Germany. Having a history of breast cancer in her family, she was always told she needed to perform self-exams, but was never shown how.

“It wasn’t until I saw the Know Your Lemons campaign after my diagnosis that I realized I had more signs and symptoms than just a lump. I wish I had known about them earlier.”
