The Story Behind the Mission
Livin Through the Lenz was born from my own healing journey.
My name is Delores King, and I am a three-time breast cancer survivor. Throughout my journey, I discovered that healing doesn't end when treatment ends.
What began as one survivor's journey has grown into a healing-centered nonprofit dedicated to helping Black and Brown breast cancer survivors rediscover their voice, reclaim their identity, and find hope beyond treatment.
We believe healing is more than physical recovery. Through Photo Journaling, Mindfulness Walks, Collage of Courage, storytelling, reflection, and creative expression, we create safe spaces where survivors reconnect with themselves, share their stories, and discover strength in community. While medical care focused on my physical recovery, I realized there was also a need to heal emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Photography became one of the ways I began to see myself differently. Those experiences inspired me to rediscover their voice, reclaim their identity, and continue healing long after treatment ends. Every program we offer is rooted in one simple promise:
I See You.
Because every survivor deserves to feel seen, heard, valued, and supported,not only during treatment, but throughout the lifelong journey of healing.
