The Shitty Titty Committee was unofficially born in 2023, founded by women with fewer nipples and more surgical scars than your average group chat. It started when Carol, five years past her own breast cancer diagnosis, came across Kate's story not long after Kate's diagnosis, and reached out. From the first messages, it was clear they spoke the same language: dark humour, fierce honesty, and zero time for pity.
They met in person at a photoshoot for the Boobie Ball, an event celebrating Carol's 5-year cancerversary, where Kate showed up fresh off a 13-hour surgery, two new boobs and a newly sewn-up tummy, proudly celebrating what she called "not dying." A group chat followed, and things escalated hilariously from there as more women joined: some with one breast, some with none, some with lopsided boobs, reconstructed boobs, tattooed nipples, or no nipples at all. All of them had been through the wringer and weren't afraid to talk about it, loudly, lovingly, and often with wine or coffee.
The name "Shitty Titty Committee" came from Kate, a brutally accurate and brilliantly inappropriate way of summing up what felt like the worst club with the best damn people. We may not have matching boobs, or any at all, but what we do have is each other, and that's everything, because no one should have to go through this shit alone.
