About Pink Divas & Gents Pink Divas & Gents was founded in 2018 by Janel Moreland who lost her paternal grandmother, Rose Moreland-Turner to breast cancer. The name Pink Divas & Gents comes from: Pink Divas - The 1 out of 8 women who is diagnosed with breast cancer. Gents - Because men can get breast cancer too.

Pink Divas & Gents provide all communities with resources, education and support, while creating a safe space to help those who are experiencing breast cancer, so they can better navigate through their journey with love, care, and support from others.
