October 28 2011- Tamika Felder "Tamika and Friends"

I once had cervical cancer survivor Tamika Felder on one of my very first shows. We discussed the then new cervical cancer guidelines, but she didn't get a chance to share her story. Now she does. A 10 year survivor and founder of Tamika and Friends, Tamika shares her story, talks about the stigma attached to cervical cancer and HPV, and discusses sex after cancer. If you haven't had a chance to see Tamika talk live like I did at the OMG summit in NYC, then here is your chance to find out more about this amazing young woman.
