Introducing VHope Cosmetics Collection!
We are living in some unprecedented times. On October 30, 2020, at the end of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I asked simply asked God, “what's next?” Lip gloss line came to me very clear and consistent. This lip gloss line is intended to bring more awareness to breast health and empower women . I want to take Valeda's Hope to the next level. One of our tubes is called “My Mammogram”. This squeeze tube is to remind women to get their mammograms.
The lip gloss is handmade, vegan, cruelty and gluten free. Each purchase comes with pearl earrings. Valeda's Hope has been giving pearls to women and girls for years. They just make you feel and look good. We want to be innovative with this line as much as we can and pearls always win!!!

Valeda’s Story
Everyone has a story to tell, no matter who you are, your life is worth talking about.
I was born on June 18, thirty minutes after my identical twin Vanessa Redmond. I was raised in St. Louis, Missouri. I am a Licensed Practical Nurse.
In 2007, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time in her left breast twenty years apart. She was diagnosed at the age 36 and 56. She is still alive to this date. It was then, I had a vivid dream that I would be my mother’s daughter to have to go through this challenge. In this dream, I felt like I would be okay either way. I took care of my mother during this critical time.

Mammograms Win Lives
Scheduling and attending annual mammograms can detect breast cancer in its earliest stages. A single appointent may change the trajectory of your life but it doesn’t mean you have to surrender to it. Mammograms save lives and give women a fighting chance.
Hereditary Cancer & the BRCA-2 Gene
The two genes most commonly associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer are called BRCA1 and BRCA2 (for Breast Cancer 1 and Breast Cancer 2 genes). A blood or cheek swab test is available that can tell if a person carries a mutation in one of these genes.
