Lady Ellen Gold White Opoku Afriyie urges year-round breast cancer checks

Lady Ellen Gold White Opoku Afriyie, a relationship coach and frequent panelist on Nhyira FM’s Obra show, has issued a strong call for women to prioritize breast health throughout the entire year. Speaking at the relaunch of the Exuberant Men and Women of Faith Foundation, she argued that the focus on breast cancer awareness should not be confined to the month of October. Instead, she urged women to adopt a habit of regular self-examinations to ensure early detection and improve the chances of successful medical intervention.

During the foundation’s event, Lady Ellen emphasized that continuous education is the primary weapon against the rising cases of breast cancer in the country. She noted that while "Pink October" serves as a vital reminder, the disease does not wait for a specific month to manifest. By maintaining a consistent schedule of checks and staying informed about the symptoms, women can catch potential issues in their infancy. This proactive approach, she explained, is not just about individual health but is deeply linked to the long-term stability of the family unit, as the loss or illness of a mother can have devastating effects on the household.

Beyond the immediate health concerns, the relaunch event highlighted the broader mission of the Exuberant Men and Women of Faith Foundation. Lady Ellen discussed the organization's commitment to providing comprehensive marriage counseling and personal development programs. She advocated for a shift in traditional household dynamics, encouraging women to actively contribute to domestic responsibilities and financial support rather than relying solely on their husbands. By strengthening both the health and economic resilience of women, the foundation seeks to build more stable and prosperous homes.

The foundation’s initiatives aim to create a holistic support system where couples can access guidance on both physical wellness and relationship management. Lady Ellen concluded her address by reiterating that stronger marriage education and consistent health awareness are essential pillars for a healthy society. As the foundation moves forward with its programs, it remains focused on empowering individuals to take charge of their health and marital success, ensuring that the lessons of early detection and mutual support are applied every day of the year.
