“I spent the past short while posting pictures taken around this time last year so I can show what a difference a year makes… and also to say that through all those changes, I’m still here. Still fighting? Does the fight for survival ever end? I choose to say: still healing. Still improving. Every day I draw another breath… still WINNING.

“The world buckled down and braced for the impact of COVID-19 while each day I was terrified that an encounter with the virus while on chemotherapy could result in my death due to my compromised immune system. In truth the lockdown also offered me shelter to go through all I have and still am going through out of the public eye… life is what you make it and we choose how to look at things. This is how I chose to look at my reality.

“While it may not be my life’s only interest, it has certainly become one of my primary goals to be a voice of awareness, information and change in the silent but gruesome battle women face against this brutal disease. I want to lift the veil of secrecy and quiet suffering for it is that concealing of information that invariably leads to the mortality of so many.

“In this message I cannot fail to mention those who have held me up both physically and emotionally through this time: @blackbarbielish for opening her home, heart and family to myself and my mother. For never leaving my side. @onealafrica for being more than any label can ever encompass since we met twelve years ago… but my brother and best friend through it all.

“My doctors: Prof. Carol-Ann Benn, Dr Ronwyn van Eeden, Dr Barend van den Bergh and Dr Dino Chetty as well as all staff at the various facilities I have been treated at who are still on the journey with me. Thank you. You are titans that walk the earth.

“My name is Naledi Willers. Breast cancer survivor among so much else. But for now you can call me NALEGEND.”
