I am Erica Lamar the digital creator and host of Embracing the Fight. I have found that people do not openly speak about physical and mental health issues or concerns. There is so much fear surrounding judgment and subsequent retaliation when an illness is revealed. The thought of someone knowing that there is something wrong is paralyzing for most. Let me open the conversation, as I battle thyroid cancer. I will encourage transparently and faithfully along my journey. This is only the beginning, as disease has no respect for race, gender, religion, or creed. Tune in every Wednesday at 6:00 pm EST as we normalize the discussions that will help all people to embrace their personal fight. Hope to see you there.
