Tamika & Friends, Inc. is a national non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness about cervical cancer and its link to HPV (human papillomavirus). Founded in 2005 by cervical cancer survivor and advocate Tamika Felder, our network of survivors and their friends spread the essential message that through education, prevention and treatment, cervical cancer can be entirely eliminated. Believing that creative communication is far more infectious than HPV we provide many hands-on ways to spread the word to women in all walks of life.
