FIGHT LIKE ROSIE

In Collaboration with Lorelei Colbert
Empowering Women, Changing the World.

12 years ago, two women set out to solve a problem and change the world they were surrounded by. Born from courage and determination, R. Riveter was created to make a difference. Each year, we bring you the Fight Like Rosie Collection, inspired by the same spirit of resilience and empowerment.

In collaboration with Lorelei Colbert, a breast cancer survivor, speaker, and advocate, this collection embodies her mission to spread awareness and hope. Lorelei’s journey resonates deeply with our motto: “You can change the world, girl.”

To Lorelei, this phrase represents empowerment, hope, and action—all values that fuel her work. She believes we each have the power to spread hope and kindness, making a real impact in the world around us. “I hope this collection empowers women to take action, do good in the world, and keep pushing onward.”

Take Action Now:

Be your own advocate. Know what’s normal for your body and speak up if something changes or doesn’t feel right. Here’s how:

• Do a self-exam using three fingers, checking all the way around your breast, into your armpit, and up to your collarbone. Repeat on the other side.
• Schedule routine appointments like mammograms, gynecology, and primary care check-ups.
• Know your family history—ask questions and communicate to your medical team if cancer runs in your family.
• Explore genetic testing if you’re at higher risk.
• Lift up our stories—breast cancer can happen before age 40. Talking about it can save lives.
• Spread kindness, to yourself and to others.

You can change the world, girl.

About Lorelei Colbert:

Lorelei was diagnosed at age 28 with triple-negative breast cancer and now empowers others to advocate for themselves and spread kindness. As an advocate and military spouse, she raises awareness for breast health in young women. In 2020, newly married, Lorelei discovered her lump and began 16 weeks of chemotherapy. To inspire hope during this time, she created the Chemo to Kindness℠ Challenge, sparking over 1,700 acts of kindness and impacting more than 75 organizations worldwide.

Lorelei's work is recognized by advocacy groups as she speaks, writes, advocates, and empowers others to SURVIVRE—to survive.
