Bridgette Hempstead, founder-CEO Cierra Sisters holds her award from the Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration Committee, at MLK Park, and on the 59th anniversary of of Dr. King’s “I have a dream” speech, Sunday, Aug. 28, 2022 in Seattle. She is one of 8 receiving awards at the ceremony, including Mayor Bruce Harrell. This award is for Hempstead’s work bringing awareness and support to those battling breast cancer in communities of color, which is why she created Cierra Sisters when Hempstead’s battle with breast cancer started 27 years ago, and she found little support. Her cancer is back for a third time but with a positive response to her chemo she said “I have a lot to smile about.”
