Leon-Lynn was the guest speaker for the center's recent breast 1xbet online games login awareness luncheon -- which drew 150 participants. She is currently working on a book highlighting her breast 1xbet online games login journey as presented through her paintings and poetry.
"I consider myself a conduit for informing women of all ages and backgrounds about breast 1xbet online games login ," Leon-Lynn said.
Information on acquiring prints and greeting cards featuring Leon-Lynn's paintings will be available at the exhibit.
