Beyond Pink Ribbons: Turning Pain into Purpose


Listen Later

Send us Fan Mail

Ever bought a pink-ribboned product thinking you're supporting the fight against breast cancer? 
Ever wondered how much of that money actually goes toward helping those battling the disease? 
Join us as we pull back the curtain on pinkwashing and question the sincerity of these well-meaning gestures. You'll hear the raw and inspiring stories of four individuals who, touched by cancer, have turned their pain into purpose. Advocating for mental health, education, and the Latinx community, they show us the true meaning of support.

  • Prepare to be moved by the powerful story about mental health,  genetics,  community, and legacy.
