Beyond the Tide: Empowered & Unstoppable

BRCAStrong Fashion Show & Medical Panel

BRCAStrong is proud to announce an inspiring collaboration with Lauren Yerkes, founder of POST SWIM, for our upcoming fashion show, “Beyond the Tide: Empowered & Unstoppable.”

This powerful event will celebrate previvors, survivors, and thrivers regardless of genetic predisposition as they walk the runway in post-cancer swimwear designed to empower, inspire, and transform perceptions of body image after breast cancer.

More than a fashion show, this experience will bring together education, advocacy, and empowerment, uniting the community to honor the strength, resilience, and beauty of women who have faced breast cancer head-on.

Empowerment Runway Show

Previvors, survivors, and thrivers will walk the runway wearing POST SWIM, a purpose-driven swimwear brand designed specifically for post-cancer bodies.

Educational Medical Panel

The event will feature an impactful discussion including:

• Two leading physicians
• Two patient advocates (previvors, survivors, or thrivers)

Panelists will discuss body image, survivorship, advocacy, and the evolving needs of women navigating life after breast and gynecological cancer.

In 2026, BRCAStrong is focusing on body image empowerment, making this collaboration especially meaningful.

Partnering with Lauren Yerkes, a breast cancer survivor and BRCA2+ carrier, brings powerful authenticity to the event.

Lauren’s nearly two-decade career in the fashion industry, including 16 years as Chief Merchandising Officer at REVOLVE, combined with her personal experience navigating cancer treatment and survivorship, inspired her to launch POST SWIM a swimwear brand designed with intention for post-cancer bodies.

POST SWIM pieces feature:

• Thoughtful coverage
• Flat-lay construction for comfort
• Optional prosthesis support

Each design helps women feel confident, comfortable, and truly seen.

A Celebration of Strength

Beyond the Tide: Empowered & Unstoppable is more than a runway.

It is a celebration of resilience, confidence, and community, highlighting the strength and beauty of women who continue to rise, rebuild, and redefine life after breast cancer.

Together, we honor every previvor, survivor, and thriver and the powerful stories they carry.
