She said when she went in with a lump they basically denied her mammogram and said

you're too young for breast cancer and they wrote on her medical documentation

mammography recommended at age 40.

And once I heard that, I knew that her story needed to be heard.

And that, number one, I wanted to make sure that that never happened to another

woman again and it for me was more about advocating I think that's what Crossett has

really taught me is how to advocate for my body, how to be aware of my own health, and how to take ownership in that, right? And so while I was teaching that to people every day

my friend and the health care system we have kind of failed her in a sense and she failed herself you know and you ask

Sessie today and you ask her what does she want to tell people from her story of

breast cancer and she's like advocate for yourself.
