How This Actress Is Helping Breast Cancer Survivors Connect During the Pandemic
Angela Trimbur wanted to create a space for breast cancer survivors to express themselves freely and find understanding….


The past year has featured a theme of separation, finding us relegated to our homes and trading gatherings and vacations for Zoom calls and long drives. But for those willing to think outside the box, the possibility for connection is still available—and essential. Actress Angela Trimbur, who has appeared in shows like The Good Place and is the founder of the now defunct L.A. City Municipal Dance Squad, is one such creative, offering a virtual space for breast cancer survivors to share, emote, and find understanding in an era where isolation is a mental and physical reality. “It has become a really crucial outlet for all of us who are left feeling a bit misunderstood most of the time—or pretty much all the time,” says Trimbur. “You can’t describe what chemo or losing these body parts feels like to someone who hasn’t been through it. It’s truly insane.”
Since her diagnosis in 2018, Trimbur has endured 16 rounds of chemo, two rushed egg freezings, a double mastectomy, four reconstructive surgeries (the last of which was an explant followed by a surgery that utilized fat from her thighs to create a small A cup), and a preemptive oophorectomy due to her BRCA gene. “That one was very, very emotional because I’ve fantasized about pregnancy since I was a teen. When I was diagnosed, one of the first questions I asked my doctor was ‘Can I still breastfeed?’ and when they said, ‘No,’ I just bawled because it meant so much to me,” says Trimbur. “So I did some rituals.” Said ritual centered on friends bringing items that they associated with childhood or motherhood, explaining their choice, and then adorning Trimbur’s ovaries with flowers and whispering messages to her future child. It’s exactly this sort of vulnerable sharing that inspired the actress to start hosting breast cancer support groups on the app Marco Polo.
Trimbur has been a fan of Marco Polo—an on-your-own-time, private video messaging app—since early in her diagnosis, asking friends and family to record themselves dancing, telling stories, or simply talking about their days as a means of staying connected. “So a couple of months into the pandemic when I went into my oncology center for my monthly shot, I saw how like tumbleweed-empty and quiet the chemo center was, and it hit me that no one can have anyone with them while they’re in the chemo chair,” says Trimbur. “And I just thought back to how supported I felt and how that would terrify me, personally, if I had to be there alone. I wanted to find a way to give support to people who are by themselves in the chair.”
“I also had some friends that were close to me say some things that really hurt about my posttreatment feelings,” says Trimbur. “It was kind of a strange feeling to realize that continued empathy and understanding doesn’t really exist like, years after. It’s almost like once your hair grows back people expect you to have moved on from the confusing heaviness.” Trimbur reached out to Marco Polo in August to ask about starting a support group, and the team helped her set it up. Things grew quickly from there, with a 40-member group evolving to eight groups of 20, which Trimbur curates herself based on each survivor’s specific experience. Participants are invited to record videos at their leisure, rather than having to sign on at a specific time to “meet.”

Keke Palmer Saves The Day At Tina Knowles’ Book Event

In a scene that felt like something straight out of a movie, Keke Palmer became the evening’s hero at Tina Knowles’ book event in Los Angeles this past weekend.

As everyone held their breath, Palmer sprang into action, stepping in to help Knowles while keeping her calm.
A video that’s now trending on TikTok captures this incredible moment, showing Palmer supporting Knowles and catching her dress just in time. With the crowd still in shock, Palmer lightened the mood with a funny comment that turned their gasps into laughter. She joked, “They were acting like it was a whole murder show!” before referring to the teleprompter as if it were demanding help. This incident showcased Palmer’s natural talent for handling tricky situations with grace and humor. Knowles, ever so elegant, adjusted her gown and smiled, showing why she’s known as a fashion icon.

Cardi B’s $60K Birkin Bag Gets The ‘Mommy Treatment’ As Daughter Unleashes Her Creativity

In a moment of relatable frustration, Cardi B took to Instagram to share a funny yet surprising story about her expensive $60,000 Birkin bag, one of her favorite items from her luxury collection. Known for her bold personality and honest social media posts, Cardi revealed that one of her daughters had turned the fancy purse into a makeshift canvas, drawing a heart on it without permission. “Look what my daughter did to my purse,” Cardi said dramatically in her Instagram Story, showing off the iconic bag to her followers. “I literally spent $60,000 on this purse,” she exclaimed, still amazed by the unexpected ‘artwork’ from her little girl.
Although she was frustrated, the mom of three tried to take it all in stride, at least for the moment. Cardi values her hard-earned luxury items, especially her growing collection of high end bags. However, as any parent knows, kids have a skill for creating chaos even in the most cherished parts of life. For Cardi, that chaos includes her high-priced accessories. The post quickly gained attention online, with fans sympathizing with Cardi’s situation. Many found humor in the irony of the event, while others offered support, pointing out that such moments are just part of the unpredictable journey of parenthood. Cardi has previously emphasized that family is her top priority, even if it means dealing with some messiness.

But Cardi’s frustration didn’t stop there. She later took to Twitter to respond to comments made by Kanye West regarding her staying power in the spotlight. While she didn’t mention him directly, her tweet, “7 years 1 album… STILL being a topic and STILL being asked about my music!!!” sent a clear message. She confidently asserted her spot in the entertainment world, clarifying that her fans, known as “The Brim,” are not going anywhere. In the end, whether it’s a damaged Birkin bag or dealing with critics, Cardi B repeatedly shows that she remains unfazed by the ups and downs of fame, always staying true to herself and her family.
