‘Now is the Time’ draws on a shared experiences of mothers, sisters, and friends to teach the simple yet vital steps of breast self-examination, helping women get to know their bodies, recognize warning signs early, and embrace awareness as a form of strength. It’s an invitation to start a new monthly ritual and celebrate knowledge as a form of strength.
