SEABREEZE MP Leslia Miller- Brice
Seabreeze MP Leslia Miller- Brice gave her constituents a message of awareness, early detection and community support after distributing more than more than 1,000 pink and white shirts for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The initiative continues four years of breast cancer awareness outreach in the constituency, combining shirt distribution with billboards encouraging residents to get checked. Together, these efforts keep the message visible and remind residents to make their health a priority while supporting those affected by the disease.
For Miller-Brice, the campaign reflects a commitment to community awareness that was also part of her leadership at Mario’s Bowling and Entertainment Centre. While the successful enterprise provided fun and family entertainment, she also used it as a space to bring people together around important community causes.
“During my time at Mario’s Bowling we hosted an event called Paint the Lanes PINK in recognition of breast cancer awareness,” she recalled.
That initiative connected recreation with a wider purpose, using an atmosphere of togetherness to draw attention to an issue affecting Bahamian women and their families. Over the past four years, she has continued that spirit in Sea Breeze, encouraging residents to look after their health and support one another.
“The rate of breast cancer is high in our country and I want to continue to bring awareness to this disease. Encourage women to get tested as early detection can save lives,” Miller-Brice said.
The pink and white shirts and constituency billboards serve as visible reminders of that message. Beyond wearing the colours, the campaign encourages residents to make time for checks, offer encouragement to someone undergoing treatment and show care for families affected by breast cancer.
“I love my community and my hope is that residents understand the importance,” she said.
Through this continuing outreach, Miller-Brice is reinforcing a message of care throughout Sea Breeze: awareness should lead to action, and community support can begin with each resident.
