b"I want to share my thoughts about Kerri Connor Matchett whose homegoing took place this week. Co-founder of Praise is the Cure with her mom Anita T Connor, Kerri was a powerful advocate for raising awareness about early breast cancer awareness for Black women through faith-based institutions. In her too short 48 years - Kerri made a measurable difference, no doubt saving many lives. She was a mother, a daughter, a wife and a devoted friend to so many. The image I will always remember is an Instagram photo of Kerri dressed as a member of Wakanda's Dora Milaje - women who represent courage, purpose, strength and most of all Fierceness. Kerri Connor Matchett was all that and so much more.
