Hairless 4 Her Awareness is a non-profit organization that conceptualized after founder Turquoise Johnson decided to part ways with her hair to honor a former teacher and close friend after she lost her battle to breast cancer. Since 2011, Hairless 4 Her Awareness has been dedicated to promoting awareness for breast cancer through community outreach and engagement. The organization has built a strong foundation by celebrating the lives of the women affected by the disease. In one year, Hairless 4 Her Awareness has become a strong support system for patients without health coverage and adult women under forty. Known for their heart-tugging visual campaigns, Hairless 4 Her Awareness is gearing up to become a leader in breast cancer awareness.

Angela expressed how honored and excited she was to be a part of the amazing project.

“I’ve had a lot of people close to me pass away from cancer, undergo chemotherapy, and even helped friends who were concerned about the likelihood that they could have cancer.  Anything I can do to bring awareness about prevention or early detection, and treatment, I will.”

Breast Cancer is a disease that affects so many people, whether directly or indirectly.

Medical Assistant turned Philanthropist, Turquoise Johnson is the Owner and Founder of Hairless 4 Her Awareness Inc. aka H4HAInc. After the passing of her elementary school teacher in 2010 of Metastatic Breast Cancer. Turquoise got the drive and ambition to start a non-profit organization in honor of her teacher and the many patients she meet while working as a Medical Assistant. After getting laid off from   her job in March 2011 Turquoise took her first unemployment check and started the organization.

“The heartbeat of this organization was founded because my teacher Ms.Karen Williams lost her battle with breast cancer in 2010. In her memory I founded Hairless 4 Her Awareness, Inc. For me this organization is an example of a new generation promoting awareness in ways that has never been done. Those who lost their battle and those who survived are the reason why I left job as a Medical Assistant/ Phlebotomist to promote awareness. I hope that this organization can help educate and impact millions about the awareness of breast cancer. “
