We deemed October get all up in your business month and this episode is a reminder that Breast Cancer Awareness should be All Year Around as we interviewed Advocate, Survivor, and Elevated Survivorship Founder Angela Waller.

Angela K. Waller's story is incredibly inspiring. As a breast cancer survivor for 17 years, she has taken her personal experience and commitment to educating women of color about breast health to a new level by founding Elevated Survivorship (ES). This nonprofit organization aims not only to educate but also to empower patient advocates, particularly focusing on the involvement of informed African-American voices in policy, research, and advocacy within the cancer continuum.

ES's vision is to bring about a more equitable healthcare system by including diverse perspectives and changing the narrative on breast cancer mortality. The organization recognizes that breast cancer awareness and advocacy should not be confined to a single month, such as October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month), but should be an ongoing conversation and effort throughout the year.

Waller's journey, the mission of Elevated Survivorship, and how everyone can contribute to this important cause.
