“I remember that moment like it was yesterday. I came home from school and I didn’t recognize my mom,” the singer told the publication.
“At the time I was very young. It’s hard for anyone to be able to comprehend that one of their loved ones is that ill and could possibly not be with them anymore, but being a five-year-old trying to understand that was even more difficult.”
Normani is also a partner with the American Cancer Society, an organization dedicated to finding a cure for cancer. It also says the best way to prevent cancer is by making, “healthy choices like eating right, staying active and not smoking. It’s also important to follow recommended screening guidelines, which can help detect certain cancers early.”
Hamilton offered her own advice on how to remain cancer free and how she feels about the work her daughter is doing with, American Cancer Society.
“I’m very proud of Normani to be able to share this with me, because she’s growing into being a young woman herself, and using her voice and her platform to help spread awareness is very important. Early detection is so important. Breast cancer is spreading so widely, and it comes at all ages now. It’s very important that the young generation knows how important it is to do your self exams and get checked on a regular basis. The more educated young women become, the better we can fight this disease.”
