Barbells for Boobs 5.69

Barbells for Boobs owes its origins to the friendship between founder Zionna Hanson and Cecy Morales. Only 26 years old at the time, and after finding irregularities in her breasts, Cecy was denied her screening services and advised by medical professionals to simply come back upon turning 40. Not satisfied with this answer, Cecy persisted and insisted on being screened only to finally discover that she was in the midst of stage 0 (DCIS) breast cancer.

“Z” as she is known by her friends, decided that the answers Cecy was given were nowhere near satisfactory. She decided then and there to make it her life’s mission to make sure that this scenario wouldn’t happen again.

Barbells for Boobs was born.

A decidedly unapologetic and relentless voice, whose only purpose is to be an advocate for those who are marginalized and running out of options, Zionna and our entire team continue to fight and find ways to help and provide resources to those who need them. Every day, one less woman, one less man, one less athlete is amongst us. Our goal is indeed a lofty one, we aim to achieve the unachievable; to ensure that everyone gets access to detection services.

Until then,

Everyone has a RIGHT to know.

And yes, Cecy is a survivor! A thriving, vibrant and dynamic woman, whose very life continues to be our inspiration every day.
