Welcome to my Woman of Impact Donation Page!
I’m proud to be on a team of changemakers making a real impact on the state of women’s health.
Cardiovascular disease is the #1 cause of death for women, claiming more lives than all forms of cancer combined. Yet, so many of us don’t realize the impact it has on those we love until it’s too late.
I’ve learned this firsthand as I’ve stepped into my role as a Woman of Impact nominee for the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement. This cause is incredibly close to my heart because I’ve seen its toll on friends, family, and loved ones. By asking questions and having conversations, I’ve been surprised by how many people around me have shared their stories of being impacted by this disease—stories I never knew existed until now. I’ve heard stories from friends who have lost parents due to heart attacks and strokes, friends and loved ones who have had pregnancy complications due to high blood pressure or other risk factors, and coworkers who are living and working with various forms of heart disease. Most recently, I learned that my great grandmother who was and continues to be a huge role model in my life and who I loved so dearly had a stroke and that was a major contributing factor that ultimately led to her death.
The more I learn, the more I realize how important it is to raise awareness and advocate for better outcomes, especially for women. Many of my loved ones are at higher risk for heart disease due to factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity, and these high risk factors target women of color at even higher rates making heart disease an even larger concern for them. These are challenges that touch so many families, and they remind me just how urgent this fight is.
This is why I said yes to this campaign: because the need for awareness and action is urgent, especially in Tennessee, and I believe we can make a difference. Together, we can fund life-saving research, provide education, and empower women to take charge of their heart health.
But I can’t do this alone. I need your help to make an impact. Together, we can engage more women in research. We can fight for equitable access to care and treatments. And we can be a catalyst to create health solutions with women’s unique health needs in mind, supporting them through every age, stage, and season of life.
Every dollar we raise brings us closer to ensuring more women live longer, healthier lives with the people they love. Will you join me in supporting the Go Red for Women movement by donating to my Woman of Impact campaign today? Let’s create a future where fewer women and families experience the heartbreak of losing someone to heart disease. Together, we can save lives.
