This racial disparity is largely due to Black women having more advanced staged breast cancer at the time of diagnosis, higher rates of obesity and other health conditions, and certain types of breast cancers that have a less favorable prognosis.

These disparities are largely grounded in historical and persistent racism in the U.S., preventing Black women from accessing high-quality cancer treatment and staying on track with treatment compared with white women. #BlackHistoryMonth

“🌞To say that going through this dramatic life change and diagnosis has made me more confident, is WEIRD🌞 • I honestly think with my perspective and point of view on life and health in general changing, has made me more “me” • Like how the heck would something go through this and think- “I’m just gonna keep living life like I did” • I want to LIVE! I want to HELP people! I want to speak LIFE! I want to be an ENCOURAGEMENT! • I genuinely don’t think people know what they are capbable of and what they can handle till they’re thrown into a hard time! • And through seeing that, your confidence can grow! • I don’t mean in a prideful or judgemental way • I mean being secure and appreciative of -what you’re given -what you have the opportunity to do -and the second chance at life you’re given EVERYDAY! • Wake up everyday and say, today is a NEW DAY NEW CHANCE NEW OPPORTUNITY! • Because it is💖” -Rachael
