The Gospel According to Jessica Care Moore
Some people are good at doing some things and then there are some that are great at doing almost everything they put their hands on. This dynamo lady that hails from Detroit, Michigan is no different. Jessica Care Moore can almost do it all. Well, whatever she puts her mind, heart and hands to do she does well.
What’s Life Like Living with Lupus?
Often times we think about Cancer and Diabetes as diseases that impact us the most. Well, we shouldn’t disregard the power that Lupus has on the individuals it tries to attack.
RCR! Presents Real Discussions talked about What’s Life Like Living with Lupus with two women who refuse to lose. They are not just survivors, but winners. My guests Joelle May and Adrienne Allende have decided they would not lose in the daily battle with Lupus. These ladies have decided to win each new day that they’re given. Yes, it’s like that! It’s a daily decision to want to beat it and not give in to how you might be feeling.
The interesting thing about this is that both of these women were diagnosed with Lupus at different times in their lives not knowing that they had anything wrong with them to begin with.
It has changed them both immensely where some of things that wanted to do and/or used to do can no longer be considered an option. Having children, relationships, careers, etc. are we’re tough decisions that had to made in order to focus on their health each and everyday.
Lupus is a complicated and unpredictable disease. You don’t know when symptoms will strike or how long a flare could last. The uncertainty of how you can be impacted will very from day to day and throughout the course of the day. To make a donation to the local chapters, go Lupus.org.
Feel free to learn more about Lupus and the women who have decided to fight everyday on the Real Chicks Rock! YouTube channel.
Remember...
~ To connect with those that inspire you.
~ To continue to put in the work because quality is priceless.
~ It’s never too late to learn especially from your own mistakes.
Until next time, continue to...#ROCKon

The Many Phases of Cancer
The Many Phases of Cancer.
We have the audacity to think that when people have cancer, they should begin to look a certain way. Especially when they have stage 4 cancer. We have a lot of nerve.
Nickole Justice and Deborah Huddleston don’t look sick at all. They are two beautiful women, they are mothers and they are dealing with stage 4 cancer.
Neither one of the women knew that they had cancer. They weren’t feeling well and went to the doctor. For Nickole, they told her that she was too young to have cancer. Therefore, the opportunity to diagnose her cancer early and catch it was missed. Deborah had been running her own business, took care of many and carried on her day to day routine. She too wasn’t feeling well one day and decided to go and get checked out.
You can only imagine that this was life changing for both women. Their jobs. Their careers. Their families impacted. These ladies don’t have time to be scared because they are in a fight for their lives every day.
Healthcare that’s afforded to them is not enough and it’s a constant battle to acquire and maintain coverage. Their families have stepped in to help provide the support they need. And yet they still fight. They won’t quit. They want to live.
Despite everything that was thrown at them, they were winning until we lost one of them. On Sunday, June 10, 2018, we lost Nickole Justice to stage 4 cancer. She leaves behind her 10-year daughter nicknamed Nurse Peaches, her parents, family, and friends. It was my honor to meet her and have her and Deborah on RCR! Presents Real Discussions on Sunday, May 20th. We extend our prayer and condolences to her family and we’re so thankful to have met her.
Thank you Nickole for sharing your battle with us, it will be used to help others.
