It’s with a heavy heart that I tell you the world lost Talia Joy Castellano on July 16th.

She was a little girl with a huge heart and even bigger personality. She fought her cancer courageously and always with a mischievous glint in her eye.

I became aware of Talia and her battle when Ellen Degeneres had her on her show and made her a Cover Girl.

Talia had her own You Tube channel where she’d make videos about her first love — make up! I follow her channel and watch her videos all the time. I was in awe of her courage, spirit and love for life. She gave me strength to face my own cancer journey.

RIP Talia and F-You Cancer.
