Ghanaian actress-Christabel Ekeh has shaved off all her hair in support of this month’s Breast Cancer awareness.

As it stands, “Breast Cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, with nearly 1.7 million new cases diagnosed in 2012” and since Cancer is caused by “external factors, such as tobacco, infectious organisms, and an unhealthy diet, and internal factors, such as inherited genetic mutations, hormones, and immune conditions”—there is the need to champion the lifestyle choice awareness.

This is why Christabel Ekeh has made a bold personality statement with her bald her, saying, she stands with women worldwide fighting cancer—and also, wants people to know that their own unchecked lifestyles can contribute to getting cancer.

“When you hear about Breast Cancer, you may think it’s something foreign but it’s right here with us. Recently, two loved family members and the mother of my friend died from Breast Cancer so it comes home too,” the actress told GhanaCelebrities.Com.

She added: “the Global Awareness this month has been great and social media has been buzzing but in Africa, Cancer remains somewhat under the carpet—I believe we can do more as entertainers to help create the awareness, especially educate people on the best lifestyle choices.”

For Christabel Ekeh, she chose to go bald in solidarity with those fighting Breast Cancer because she always feared losing her hair would amount to losing her personality—but she decided to overcome that fear and stand with those facing real fear, caused by a disease.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual global campaign to increase awareness of the disease.
