On October 27, 2022, Shades of Us Storytelling Initiative for African People (Shades of Us) attended the Love Your Lemons Webinar, an event organised by the Medicaid Foundation in Abuja during a week-long event geared towards raising breast cancer awareness. The goal was to raise awareness about breast cancer and to encourage women across all age groups to have regular visits to the hospital because early detection of cancer is vital to its management.
