Shanté Broadus, President of Boss Lady Entertainment; wife of famed musician Calvin Broadus, better known as Snoop Dogg; and mother of lupus survivor, Cori Broadus, was recently appointed to the Lupus LA Board of Directors.
Lupus LA serves the needs of people with systemic lupus and their families in Los Angeles County. As a board member Shanté will help lead efforts on behalf of the organization, which include: promoting lupus research, awareness, education, patient services, and new member outreach.
After her young daughter's diagnosis, and discovering the disease is more prevalent among women of color, Shanté realized the organization needed a voice and her family's celebrity status could help inform people of the disease that affects over 1.5 million Americans.
Since then, Shanté and her family have been very involved in Lupus LA events and support groups, and in speaking with press outlets to help build awareness about lupus.
Hats off to Mrs. Broadus!
