Success Stories

Methodist Health System Success Story
Coqueace "Koco" Powell actively chooses not just to survive, but to thrive as she faces the challenges presented with the discovery of breast cancer. You don't have to see her photo to know that she's a fighter against breast cancer.
"I was doing a self-exam and saw something that was protruding and felt a little hard. I asked my mom what she thought and she felt I should go get it checked out," Koco explains how she detected the cancer. She didn't have insurance but knew she needed to get a mammogram. She realized it would be costly without insurance with even more costs if she needed a biopsy. "One of my girlfriends had just gone to a class where she learned about Komen Dallas County helping women in need get free mammograms." The Dallas County Affiliate of Susan G. Komen grants funding to Methodist Health System to provide screening and diagnostic procedures for Dallas County residents at no cost for those who qualify. Koco was an eligible recipient.
She came to Methodist Dallas Medical Center for help, visiting its Women's Imaging Center for a mammogram, followed by a sonogram and biopsy. "A week later I learned that I had Stage 3 breast cancer. A week after that, I had lymph node surgery, and a week after that I started chemo," she explains. She finished chemo in late summer and had another surgery.
"Breast cancer suddenly turned my whole life upside down," she states with conviction, "But I would say that it hasn't all been negative, on the positive side my family has grown closer. Also, I've been humbled and am opening my mind and heart to new and different things. I have been able to help a lot of other ladies."
Koco actively uses social media to talk about breast cancer and the vital need for early detection. "A lot of people think I'm crazy when I say this, but I now thank God for giving cancer to me because he must have thought that I could do something positive as a result of my diagnosis."
While she fights this disease, she looks firmly forward, saying she would love to work in every way possible to motivate and inform women about breast cancer - especially those women under the age of 50. "I tell everyone I can that it's not an over-50 disease. I would love to talk to more women under the age of 40 about this, about the importance of self-exams and watching for warning signs."
 Koco is energetically embracing her journey and looking for every opportunity to use her survivorship to inform other young women and share with them a measure of survivor's wisdom and optimism for the world ahead.
"I put on makeup and nice clothes to make me feel better. Be positive. When you can, don't feel or act like you're sick. Don't stop doing or being who you were and still are," she advises. "Cancer doesn't define you - it's just a temporary and unwelcome visitor. You didn't ask for it to come. Find out what you're supposed to learn from it as just another of life's trials. I've been learning a lot of different things. Open up your heart to every life being short and appreciate everyone and everything around you."

Bridge of Blessings Success Story
Where does one begin when trying to express gratitude that is clearly inadequate compared to the extent of support that Bridge of Blessings has bestowed upon my family? My wife was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer close to four years ago and continues to fight the fight. With two children under the age of six, day-to-day financial obligations, job and caretaking responsibilities, the varied burdens would have been overwhelming. It was by the love and support of organizations like Bridge of Blessings that enabled our family and my wife, to focus on the issue at hand - to battle against a disease that knows no mercy and is ever sleepless in waiting.
We have received countless prayers by friends, family, and strangers alike and we are so grateful, but there is no greater demonstration of charity and love than the action that accompanies the prayers and thoughts. I know that our family would be in a much darker place if not for the generosity and love of Komen and Bridge of Blessings. I pray that more families become aware of the loving gift that is of God, which is Bridge of Blessings!

Is there enough of him ("good" men) to go around?

Men’s emotional growth and empowerment continued and it starts with both of you! Dating, Relationship, and Marriage…The hottest topic in this city just became the hottest event!

"sUpply and deMANd"...The “economic” model of dating, relationships, and marriage, where “economics” is the analysis of men “producing” and “distributing” “goods” and women “consuming” them. In a competitive market, the “price” women are willing to pay for particular “good” will vary until it settles at a point where the quantity de”MAN”ded by those women will equal the quantity supplied by men, resulting in an “fair” “price” to pay and an adequate “quantity” of men to choose from.

After Party to follow with JE hosted by DJ C-Wiz
Jagged Edge represents R&B music as it should be: timeless, sensual and honest. The GRAMMY© -nominated male quartet returns to replenish what’s been missing from R&B. Their latest project, “The Remedy” is in stores NOW and promises to deliver the right amount of smooth mixed in with a little edge and a future list of classics.
Formed in Atlanta, Georgia, Jagged Edge (JE) consists of identical twin brothers Brandon Casey and Brian Casey, Kyle Norman and Richard Wingo, who was later added to the group at the suggestion of then Xscape's Kandi Buress.
Group member Kyle Norman recently told Billboard.com, “Jagged Edge wants a new creation, a new birth. We want to shed some light to what we’ve been doing for the past 11 years.”
The Remedy will do just that, and more.
