My advocacy is a way to honor my journey while helping others navigate their own.
Never forget, that your voice is the most powerful weapon on Earth in the battle against breast cancer; it is your armor in advocating for change.
Stay informed, do your research, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.
Through my journey, I’ve realized the need for open health discussions within the Haitian community, support networks, and organizations like For the Breast of Us to empower Caribbean-American women.
“Don’t talk about it,” they whispered. It was a shroud of secrecy wrapped around a terrifying reality – breast cancer in my Caribbean community. But silence breeds fear, and fear can be deadly. That’s why I’m raising my voice, a voice that echoes with the rhythm of the islands but speaks a truth that transcends cultures.
From wearable devices that monitor your health metrics to apps that help manage mental well-being and physical health, the right tools can offer support, comfort, and empowerment.
This series is designed to explore the best health tech and apps that can assist breast cancer survivors in various aspects of their recovery and ongoing health management.
Clinical trials, what are they exactly and why is there such a lack of diversity in them? Why have Black and Brown Women been excluded
Bri candidly shares her journey dealing with her mother’s misdiagnosis and the inequities that POC face in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. She highlights the need for inclusivity and representation in the community and emphasizes the importance of recognizing systemic inequities.
A blog can be therapeutic in its own right. While I expressed my feelings through the written word, now I can use my spoken word in my journey forward.
Your voice, your story, and your support can make a difference. Join For the Breast of Us in our mission to empower, support, and advocate for women of color across the globe. Together, we can create a future where every woman has the resources and support she needs to overcome breast cancer.
