info_outlineIn this heartfelt episode of the Chop Shop Show, hosts EZDZ and Greg Doss welcome breast cancer survivor Tamika Taylor and her daughter Jasmine to celebrate October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Tamika shares her empowering journey, marking 10 years cancer-free just before her birthday. Diagnosed in September 2015 at stage two after self-examining in the shower and discovering a painless lump, she recounts the shock of the biopsy confirmation amid family stresses, including her sister's ER visit and Jasmine's impending motherhood. With no family history, Tamika initially feared a death sentence but drew strength from her support system—god-sister nurse Kizzy, best friend Tamisha at Florida Cancer Center, and loved ones who assured her survival was possible. Emphasizing her slogan "early detection saves lives," she urges proactive mammograms and self-checks, noting encounters with young patients as young as 18. Jasmine reflects on the terror of learning the news while pregnant with granddaughter Dakota Tamika, vowing to fight alongside her mom, even using tax refunds for initial bills. The duo highlights the emotional toll, from chemo-induced hair loss (met with wigs and tears) to the joy of regrowth, and stresses community aid covering bills during treatment. Conversations pivot to broader themes: generational secrecy around health, modern food's role in disease, the fear of doctor visits, self-love amid societal pressures on women's bodies, and the value of genuine relationships over superficial changes. Jasmine opens up about high school bullying over a crush, leading to a memorable cafeteria fight that earned respect and peace. The episode wraps with shoutouts to Tamika's "Mika Pretty Girls" team for the upcoming Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk on October 25, donation details via Cash App ($MissMikaTYT73) or Apple Pay (813-493-7936), and rapid-fire fun—pet peeves like lying and stealing, dream Powerball buys (a house and foundation funds), favorite flicks (Friday), and artist catalogs (Monica, Rod Wave, Summer Walker for Jasmine; Micah Stampley, Mary J. Blige, Patti LaBelle for Tamika). Sponsors like Wing House, Keyes Care, and local gems get plugs, closing with dedications and family love.
