Support Risikat Okedeyi’s Fight Against Cancer☀️

Our beloved friend and Goddess, Risikat Okedeyi, stands at a crucial crossroads in her life's journey, and she needs the unwavering support of her cherished community. As fate would have it, earlier this year in February, Kat was confronted with the diagnosis of colon cancer. This process has stretched longer than anticipated due to the lesser-known nature of colon cancer, reaching a plateau that calls for a more aggressive and lengthier approach to chemotherapy.

In the face of adversity, Kat's unyielding spirit remains steadfast, but she can't do this alone. While she's rarely one to ask for help, we're rallying together to ensure she gets the support she so rightfully deserves. With her usual means of income affected by her health battle, we're stepping in to lift her up.

Kat's needs are vital and immediate. The journey ahead requires covering essential aspects such as daily nourishment, medical bills, intergrative health services, a dedicated nutritionist, and a compassionate doula who will stand by her side as she bravely forges ahead.

Risikat is a superior daughter, auntie, sister, niece, cousin, friend, mentor, listener, doer, educator, and human. Her impact resonates deeply, touching lives through her writing, mentorship, and cultural endeavors spanning over 25 years. If you've ever felt the magic of Kat's presence, be it spiritually, culturally, or personally, you understand the profound void her absence would leave. Together, we're committed to restoring her to her full brilliance.
