My Nonprofit Reviews

I joined Know Your Lemons as a global breath health educator this year after using one of their infographics to share info with women who were asking me questions after my own breast cancer diagnosis in 2019. I first found out about Know Your Lemons after seeing on of their most popular images- the lemons with the 12 symptoms of breast cancer- during a search on the internet.

In 2021, after getting more and more questions from persons, I felt a urge to join some kind of breast cancer Foundation and as a teacher by profession felt that one that focused on educating persons re breast cancer might be the way to go. I found out Know Your Lemons had a course to become a global educator with their foundation. I was apprehensive at first because 'chemo brain/fog' is still very present in my life, but the course seemed manageable and the way being a global educator was presented made me ever more determined to become one.

From the time I expressed my interest in becoming a certified educatoI have felt part of a family. I have emailed Aysha, the community manager with so many questions as I am the first in my country to become a global educator and she has always answered with patience and has never made me feel as if I am nuisance.

The course they provide to become one of their educators was comprehensive, easy to fit into my schedule and was at no cost to me, which made it even better. After completion, though nervous, I felt ready and able to begin volunteering. The regular online meetings with other educators around the world is awesome. We share ideas, troubleshoot with each other & simple message for help brings so many offers.

They make it easy to find resources and for me to teach classes in person and online. This has given my life a new dimension after my diagnosis and I support the work they continue to do! I hope to remain a volunteer educator with Know Your Lemons as long as I am physically able.
