Diagnosed Before 40: TGIN Founder Breast Cancer Survivor Shares Her Story

Chris-Tia Donaldson is a breast cancer survivor and founder of Thank God I’m Natural (TGIN).

She released her first book, Thank God I’m Natural: The Ultimate Guide to Caring for and Maintaining Natural Hair, in the summer of 2009. It was quickly heralded at the “The Natural Hair Bible.”

The book dispelled some of the most common myths and misconceptions about kinky hair. It also gave women a much-needed resource for how to embrace their coils.

Following the success of the book, Chris-Tia, a Harvard law school graduate, made a transition. She never had plans of being an entrepreneur, but this was the perfect moment to launch her natural hair care line, Thank God I’m Natural (TGIN).

The now successful CEO, entrepreneur, author, and public speaker has another title that she proudly claims: breast cancer survivor.

The CEO used social media to chronicle her journey. She continues to speak to women about the importance of early detection – even for women younger than 40.

Chris-Tia shared her story with BlackDoctor.org via a Facebook Live interview. Below are highlights from the Q&A. Watch the full interview on the following page.
