This week was the anniversary of the beginning of Adrienne’s liver cancer journey. I’ll never forget when an ER doctor told us, “She has tumors in her liver and lungs.”

What happened to February? It zipped by. We had two exciting Love Your Liver Live workshops for the Black/African-American communities in Atlanta and Miami.

I’m so excited 2023 is here! I don’t know about you, but 2022 was a bit … exhausting. After months of dealing with long covid, I’m starting to feel better. To feel stronger. And I’m thrilled with the programs we have coming up this year.

Recently, founding Board Director Monique Beatty, reminded me of our humble beginnings. Many years ago, we recycled toner and ink cartridges to earn revenue for Blue Faery.

Did you know? The day Blue Faery became incorporated by the state of California — December 19 — is the same date Adrienne came to live with me in Los Angeles.

Someone I haven’t seen in two decades did this act of kindness that fills my heart with gratitude, and she did it during Liver Cancer Awareness Month.

When I started Blue Faery, I knew little about founding a charity.
