Maimah Karmo shares her story with triple-negative breast cancer and how she founded the Tiger Lily Foundation. Maimah emphasizes the importance of self-advocacy, community support, and education in traversing healthcare challenges. She shares her experience of being dismissed by doctors due to her age and ethnicity, and how this motivated her to create an organization that empowers women of color facing similar struggles. Key Highlights: 1. Trust your gut, it could save your life. 2. Don't do it alone, community is what will help you do what you need to do even if you're afraid. 3. Be the best advocate you can be for yourself, this is your life and your body – you are worth  the fight. About our guest: Maimah Karmo is the Founder/CEO of the Tigerlily Foundation (Tigerlily) and an eighteen-year survivor of breast cancer. On February 28, 2006, at 4:45 p.m., Maimah was diagnosed with Stage 2 triple negative breast cancer. She had no family history and was 32-years old.  While undergoing her second round of chemotherapy, she made a promise to God that if she survived, she would create an organization to educate, empower, advocate for and support young women affected by breast cancer.  A first-generation immigrant from Liberia, who has experienced disparities first-hand, she is a leader in the women's health field, creating and implementing national health initiatives for women and girls, with a goal of eliminating disparities of age, stage and color.  Under Maimah' s leadership, Tigerlily Foundation has launched national and global health initiatives focused on ending disparities, through the #InclusionPledge, partnering with global stakeholders, with a call to action to recognize health disparities as a social justice issue; and working to end disparities for black women in our lifetime. She is a global thought leader, health advocate and philanthropist, committed to justice and equity for all. Maimah also works directly with women and their families to connect the patient with better care and knowledge. through events such as the Annual Young Women's Breast Health Day on the Hill and other philanthropic efforts and successful educational and support programs.  You can find Maimah on Twitter, on Instagram, and on Facebook.  Check out the Tigerlily Foundation here. Key Moments: At 6 minutes 25 seconds “I ended up finding the flower one day, the tiger lily… It's like a woman, beautiful, different layers to her, and also when people are going through treatment there's a sense of so much fear. You do lose things in a way. You may lose your petals: your hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, breasts, other parts of your body, male or female. The flower is a perennial, so in the fall, winter, the petals fall off but in the spring and summer, they blossom again.  I want people who are coming to Tigerlily to feel that sense of: I'm going through this time of dormancy and things are falling off, but that means I could grow and transform into something beautiful and amazing and just badass.You could find beauty, strength and be transformed throughout the cancer journey.” Disclaimer: All content and information provided in connection with Manta Cares is solely intended for informational and educational purposes only.  This content and information is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Maimah Karmo is the founder and CEO of The Tigerlily Foundation and a fifteen-year survivor of breast cancer. She's appeared in major media including USA Today, US News, Cosmopolitan, CBS, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and so much more. She's a sought-after speaker by the media and for policy events and a prominent philanthropist. Under her leadership, the Tigerlily Foundation has launched national and global health initiatives focused on ending disparities through the #inclusion pledge, participating with global stakeholders with a call to action to recognize health disparities as a social justice issue, and working to end disparities for Black women in our lifetime. She's a global health advocate dedicated to justice and equity for all. Maimah was born and raised in Liberia, West Africa until she was fifteen years old, and in that time she experienced three wars. Each time they escaped, and many times they returned—in large part because Maimah's parents believed in philanthropy and helping those who did not have the privilege to escape themselves. After escaping to America and starting a new life, Maimah worked to build up her own dream life. Just as it felt like it was starting to come to fruition, she found a lump in her breast. After fighting to get it examined—all of the doctors said she was too young to have breast cancer—she was finally diagnosed and treated for cancer. Women, people of color, and especially the intersection of those two are at a higher risk of being overlooked by the medical community. Most women are not taught to fight and to advocate for themselves the way Maimah was. That's why she feels responsible for advocating for those who cannot do so themselves.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “I live by a lot of quotes, and there's a quote by Dan Millman, it says ‘Love is a warrior's sword, everywhere it cuts, it gives life, not death.' And that's something that I think, if you're here, you're a spirit in this body, in this vessel, for this time. What you're here to do is to love yourself and honor and love life. And how do you do that? You honor your temple. Not just your body but your mind, your spirit. And when you're given much and you're able to breathe, then you have to give to others.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

We find out what specifically has happened in the year since the launch of the #InclusionPledge and find out more about the #KnowMoreDisparities and #PullUpASeat initiatives. This is an extraordinary discussion on inclusion, disparities, allyship, privilege, stigmas, and the power of the individual. Check out our blog and episode notes on our website, www.ourmbclife.org.

Join us as we revisit our inaugural episode with Maimah Karmo of the Tigerlily Foundation. The #inclusionpledge initiative was started when our Trailblazer series co-host and the founder of Angel In Disquise, Inc, Jersi Baker, raised her voice at a conference asking why no one looked like her on stage even when the discussion was on racial disparities in healthcare for people living with MBC. From there, the TigerLilly Foundation’s Maimah Karmo in partnership with the founders of GRASP, Christine Hodgdon and Julia Maues and many others, developed the #inclusionpledge to get organizations and individuals to commit to taking real action to change these disparities. We will catch up with Maimah, Christine and Julia later this month but we wanted to re-release our inaugural podcast with Maimah since it is so very relevant still. Check out our blog and episode notes on our website, www.ourmbclife.org. We are found on FAcebook, Twitter, and Instagram @ourmbclife.

In this episode of the TruthSeekah Podcast TruthSeekah speaks with Maimah Karmo about her story of holding on to the promises of God. When Maimah was only 8 years old she remembers having a dream where she spoke to God. God told Maimah in this dream that no matter what happens to her in life she would always be protected to carry out her divine will. After many death attempts and life altering situations that looked glim Maimah still held on to the promises she received from God as a child. Through much adversity and heartache Maimah recounts God's hand of provision upon her life and has persevered to share her story. After beating breast cancer Maimah has had the opportunity to reach thousands of people through her multiple appearances on the Oprah Winfrey show and also participating on her own TED Talk. Maimah now does private retreats and personal coaching where she speaks to men and women about fulfilling their destiny and embracing spirituality to connect with their creator. In the later half of the interview we speak about mediumship and connecting with the spirits of the deceased and how it is becoming more and more accepted within many christian circles. We see a picture of Jesus upon the mount of transfiguration meeting with elder champions of the faith Moses and Elijah. Jesus's garments and face transformed into their light form radiating with a bright white light and this was witnessed by not only by Saint Peter but also James and John. This was the first time that someone was privy to be a part of what Jesus practiced during his prayer time. We find that he wasn't simply praying for people or going over a prayer list but actually communing with the Father and and meeting the saints and prophets of old. Many people of recent years in christianity have reported their elders who have since passed into eternity meeting with them face to face as apparitions in hotel rooms as well as in dreams and visions in the night. In the closing words I speak about calling God Father and why that is important for me because during the show we referred to God as He or She. For me it is personal because I grew up without a father and God promises in the scriptures to be a Father to the fatherless. I believe the scripture and that particular promise and have seen God show up and be the Father that I never knew. Practically and supernaturally I have seen God step into my life and become a friend closer than a brother. I saw God begin to teach me through every situation and circumstance in my life. I've also experienced correction as a true father would correct his son or daughter, God began to correct me when I was wrong or in error. I would be led to jobs to work for a period of time long enough for God to instill a character trait or trade that wasn't imparted by a father. This included practice things such as landscaping, changing oil and sheer work ethic. Thequestion that I asked at the end of the discussion was that as much as I saw God as a Father in my life, I wonder if those out there raised by their father could relate more to the feminine aspects of God being more of a mother figure for them. I see God as the father reaching down and creating mankind out of the dust of the Earth and the Earth being represented as the mother Gaia becoming pregnant with new life and birthing mankind. But those qualities imparted only by a mother that the soul does not receive being raised only by a man does God show up in that aspect for them?

I was recently on an airplane with my good friend, Maimah Karmo. When we hit some turbulence, she got nervous. At that moment, I felt a story well up inside me which needed to be expressed. I knew I was not the originator of the story; it was my job to just be the channel and allow it to flow out of me. I turned to her and asked: "Maimah, do you know why airplanes exist?" What happened then was the beautiful unfolding of a story about why airplanes exist. It's the same story for the explanation of why anything, including you, exists. Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

Today's interview is with Maimah Karmo. Maimah is a mother, philanthropist, author, advocate, cancer warrior, magazine publisher, life coach, entrepreneur, badass and unicorn. Maimah's story began in Liberia, West Africa, where she was born. After surviving two wars in Liberia, during a third coup d'état, she fled to the United States at 15 years old, when her father put her on a plane, alone, to avoid persecution due to the war. She worked her way through college and created her version of the American Dream. Maimah was raising a beautiful 3-year old when she was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer in 2006. She had no family history and was 32-years old. While in treatment, Maimah made a promise to God that if she survived, she would create an organization to educate, empower, advocate for and support young women affected by breast cancer. Her promise became the Tigerlily Foundation, which educates, advocates for, empowers and supports young women, before, during and after breast cancer. She is also...
