Dayenne for Pink Ribbon

Today I share the unforgettable story of my best friend, Dayenne. Those following on Instagram for some time know about her breast cancer story.

I have been sharing about her process and recovery on my feed. October is breast cancer awareness month. Today I share Dayenne’s story out of respect for her all women dealing with breast cancer.

In December 2018, Dayenne felt a lump in her breast. After examination in the hospital, there was confusion, cancer, and no cancer. At first, they thought it was scar tissue, but it turned out to be a tumor on closer inspection. Unfortunately, not a mild form of breast cancer but a severe malignant form. A fierce process of chemo, radiation, and operation followed to get her healthy again.

I have stood next to her during this intense period. This beautiful woman is a true inspiration and an example for many. Dayenne herself tells her story in the stunning video that I am sharing with you today. #proud

The video was made by and for Pink Ribbon in collaboration with Hunkemoller starring Dayenne Bekker (Instagram Dayenne).


This community originated from my love for photography, fashion, lifestyle, and consciousness. After I turned 40 I started to miss inspiring websites with coolness and authenticity towards aging.
