Black women have a 40% higher breast cancer mortality rate than their white counterparts, younger age at diagnosis, and more aggressive disease, just to scratch the surface. Breast cancer disparities have only widened because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We sit down with Roberta āBobbiā Albany and Jamil Rivers to explore some of the multifactorial causes of breast cancer disparities. They offer advice to black women to improve their breast cancer outcomes and tangible things we can all do to address the problem.Ā
Jamil is founder and CEO of the Chrysalis Initiative. Bobbi is founder and CEO of Cancer in the Know and is a contributing author of Bruised, Broken & Blessed. Both women are advisory council members of Knowledge Is Power: Understanding Black Breast Cancer by Living Beyond Breast Cancer.Ā
This is a really important episode and we hope you give it a listen. (If you do, please review and share!) š
