Black Women + Breast Cancer: We want to use this space and platform to acknowledge that Black women are 41% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women. While we all commit to the ongoing work of dismantling institutionalized racism and healthcare biases, there are ways today to specifically and intentionally support Black women who have breast cancer and those working toward early detection and prevention:
Male + AMAB Breast Cancer: Everyone has breast tissue, which means anyone can develop breast cancer, including cis men and folks assigned male at birth (AMAB). HIS Breast Cancer Awareness and Male Breast Cancer Global Alliance focus on resources, support, treatment, research, and more for those with breast cancer or at high risk.
