As we kick off Black History Month here on Real Pink, we’re excited to highlight guests who have been affected by breast cancer and are using their experiences to make an impact. Today’s guest advocated for herself to ensure that she was receiving the best, most personalized treatment for her after her diagnosis, and in the process learned the staggering fact that less than 10% of clinical trial participants are members of racial or ethnic communities who often face higher breast cancer or mortality rates. This fueled Tina Pickett to get involved. She is passionate about educating women on early detection, health equity and representation in research and her team was at the top of the fundraising board at her local Race for the Cure.
