TikTok’s T-Talks Series tells stories of courage, inspiration, challenges and of people rising to the occasion.
TikTok’s T-Talks series has launched in the MENA region, and users can hear directly from an inspiring group of individuals telling stories of courage, the causes that matter most, inspiration and unique experiences.
#VoicesForHope
In the first episode of the series, T-Talks celebrates the grit and determination of Tina Chagoury and Sian Moss, breast cancer survivors who beat all odds and overcame the illness with the support of family and friends. Under the hashtag #VoicesForHope, the T-Talks reaches out to those who have experienced similar journeys firsthand, or through family members or friends. Users can follow Chagoury, a mother of two with a successful career, and Sian Moss, an extraordinary teacher, as they recount how their courage and determination helped them beat cancer.
Chagoury commented, “Breast Cancer Awareness shouldn’t be limited to just one month, detection is critical all year round. TikTok is one of those platforms that reaches a massive younger audience, and this is where our voices need to be heard”.
