Black women are being diagnosed with breast cancer at younger ages and with poor survival outcomes. So, what can we do about it?
New data from Word In Black’s Insights & Research Division reveals what’s standing in the way: fear of mammograms, deep mistrust of the healthcare system, and barriers that too often go unaddressed.
Join Word In Black for a virtual conversation with doctors, survivors, and advocates as we unpack:
- Why Black women face worse outcomes
- The real reasons behind fear and medical distrust
- What needs to change in the healthcare system
- What you — and your loved ones — can do right now
Whether you’re navigating your own health, supporting someone you love, or simply seeking answers, this conversation is for you.
Because awareness isn’t enough. We need action.
