Meet the Models, NYC: Nadiyah Brown

Nadiyah Brown was only 28 years old in 2014 when she started to notice one of her breasts looking different. After losing 70 pounds, she had one breast larger than the other, something she attributed to the weight loss. However, when she noticed the skin rippling and her nipple inverted, she decided to speak to her doctor. An ultrasound was performed and during the procedure “the tech’s tone changed and she told me she was sending me for a mammogram.” The mammogram would confirm stage 3 inflammatory breast cancer. Nadiyah would go on to have a mastectomy, chemotherapy (particularly grueling “red devil”), radiation and reconstruction. It was a difficult time, but now a grandmother, Nadiyah is thrilled to celebrate her ever growing family who motivates her to stay healthy. She will hit the runway to celebrate 10 years cancer free in February.
