My Pain Woke Me Up: BLISS!
CRISSCROSS INSPIRATION
My book, "My Pain Woke Me Up - BLISS!", chronicles my journey through breast cancer, love, life, and the pursuit of happiness. From being a young widow and facing the challenges of a failing marriage to becoming a single mother and then being diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer, my life has been filled with trials and resilience. Throughout it all, I've strived to find happiness and meaning in my recovery.
CRISSCROSS™ was inspired from the wonderful memories of my late husband and the challenges i faced as a young widow. The brand honors family and friends affected by cancer. My motto since my treatment has been to never let cancer overpower you “Don’t Let Cancer Get the BREAST of You!” With CRISSCROSS™, we aim to empower survivors and help embrace life with confidence and beauty.
Experience unparalleled comfort and timeless style with our entire collection. You'll feel incredibly comfortable and look effortlessly chic and stylish. Our aim is to make breast cancer survivors feel their best, celebrating life and honoring legacies with CRISSCROSS.
