Flat Out TruthThe Flat Out Truth on Breast Cancer Charities and Research (Awareness Month Special Episode)Know exactly where your donations go! Are executives and private companies profiting off of our pain or do you want your hard earned dollars to go towards research that will actually lead to a CURE? During BC Awareness month, we can become more aware of where our donations go. Who is profiting? Who is giving directly towards research for a cure? Metavivor.org gives 100% towards research while Susan Komen gives 16.3-19% (any amount appreciated but…) BCRF Breast Cancer Research Foundation gives 90% towards research. #metavivor #flatouttruth #BCRF #pinkwashing #awareness #pinktober #breastcanceraction #flatadvocate #thinkbeforeyoupink2021-10-112h 22Flat Out TruthThe Flat Out Truth on PINK Washing!In this episode I examine the concept of “pink washing” and urge people to do their research and look below the surface before giving to charities and buying pink products. We can still love pink if we choose, but there may be more to pink than meets the eye. #pinkwashing #pinkwash #notputtingashirtonit #flattiesuntie #flatlife #flatouttruth2021-08-1514 minFlat Out TruthThe Flat Out Truth on Fashion and Radical Body AcceptanceThis episode is an extension of an earlier episode on fashion with an emphasis on acceptance of your body no matter what shape you come in.
