The Founder’s Story

alexandra-boosAlexandra Boos has been a full figured model with the Ford Agency in New York City for over two decades with an insider’s view of the glamorous industries of fashion and beauty. Six years ago her mother was diagnosed with fourth stage breast cancer. Sharing the journey of chemotherapy, radiation, hair loss, fatigue, breast surgery, and more allowed her to witness firsthand the devastating effects recovering from breast cancer can have physically, emotionally and spiritually. Depression and self-image can have a large impact on recovery. Her mother only wanted to look and feel like herself in order to enjoy each moment of her life. So many of the products she required to feel empowered, such as her wig and skincare after radiation, were costly and not covered by insurance. The un-insured and under-insured should never have to choose between paying for a product that allows them to recover with dignity or a basic bill for survival. Alexandra now utilizes her career as a platform to invite the glamorous industries of fashion, beauty, health, fitness, music, television and film to marry with the best of breast health care providers to meet the needs of those who are un-insured and under-insured.
