Jennifer Anand: So this is my long overdue statement in support of Elephants and Tea I’m grateful and proud to be part of this organization.

Quoting Jennifer Anand, Columnist at on LinkedIn:

“Last week, Nick Giallourakis handed me this name tag. And I felt my usual pangs of apprehension to wear it. Was it pretentious to say “I’m on the Board”? Did I have anything to contribute? Should I try to hide it?

But then it struck me: I have chosen to spend my time, energy, and resources on this organization- why wouldn’t I want everyone to know about this incredible organization? I believe in their mission and the work they do and want to see them succeed. My life experiences have equipped me to help co-lead our Patient Advisory Committee and contribute there. I didn’t hide the tag, and wore it the entire weekend.

So this is my long overdue statement in support of Elephants and Tea I’m grateful and proud to be part of this organization. I’m thankful they value my voice and experiences, and I strive to ensure I represent the young adult cancer community to the best of my ability with them. I love the programming that is created with intention of inclusion. I guarantee everyone of us reading this knows someone whose life has been touched by cancer. Please consider checking out this organization and website. I’ve had the privilege of watching from the beginning, and I’m thrilled to continue along the journey as we celebrate 5 years.

All of us have different passions and issues that matter greatly to us, and I encourage you to devout some of your resources to supporting and promoting those causes.”
