The Tribune

Against blue skies and turquoise waters, flowing pink fabric catches the breeze. At the centre of each portrait stands a woman whose life holds a story of courage, survival and hope.

As its October advocacy campaign came to a close, the Sister Sister Breast Cancer Support Group celebrates Bahamian women through a striking photographic series by Warren Grant, honouring women who have faced breast cancer and survived.

Featured are Leshia Devoe Butler, Rochelle Bain, Cheryl Seymour and Shantell Cox Hutchinson. Wearing pink with purpose, the women bring warmth, confidence and individuality to portraits that celebrate life beyond a diagnosis.

The photographs make room for joy. Their smiles and poised expressions offer an uplifting close to a month devoted to awareness, while recognising that every survivor’s experience is deeply personal.

That spirit of connection is central to Sister Sister’s work. Guided by its motto, “Women Helping Others,” the organisation provides emotional and spiritual encouragement alongside practical assistance, including help with chemotherapy ports and other medical needs. Its survivor network offers patients something equally meaningful: the companionship of people who understand.

The close of Breast Cancer Awareness Month also leads into November’s celebration of Bahamian women—a fitting moment to honour the women who face illness, those who stand beside them and those whose lives remain cherished in memory.

Through Grant’s lens, these four survivors help carry that tribute forward.

Sister Sister salutes the resilience, strength and love of Bahamian women: those receiving treatment, those embracing life after cancer, and those supporting a sister, mother, daughter or friend. The pink ribbons may mark a month, but the care and commitment continue throughout the year.
