Celeb Influence

Whenever a celeb quotes something, it appeals to the people like anything. Be it on fashion, make-up or anything that matters, they always tend to listen to them and react to them. And when somebody like Angelina Jolie goes out with her story, then it is bound to create ripples. Her recent revelation about her double mastectomy does lead to the same. And the amazing thing is she has made her point very well here. A point that warns you against breast cancer.

Where cancer is a disease that instils fear in people and makes life a disaster for many, there is always a precaution that needs to be held. Early check-ups can always be a saviour here. Not many of you know that it is possible to find out through a blood test if you are highly susceptible to breast or ovarian cancer. Early detection can always help. Jolie’s story is an inspiration for many.

For being so bold and so strong, she does deserve a salute. Such very public revelation of life calls for courage. Courage to risk a high peaked career, courage to risk an image as a sex symbol…courage to risk very private details of her life. But she chose to come forward and alert other women the risk they are taking. And I’m sure this act must have alerted many a woman.

Angelina Jolie has really redefined her celeb status. The very essence lies in to using your influence to help the people take on their lives. And if your words are heard, the best thing is to always tell the things that matters.
