We Need To Talk About Black Women and Breast Cancer
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an international campaign symbolized by pink ribbons that aims to increase awareness of breast cancer, to raise funds for research, and to educate the public on the importance of early screening, testing, and prevention. In the past 120 years, we have seen leaps and bounds in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of breast cancer. Unfortunately, the degree of progress is not the same across all races and ethnicities.
