Impacted by Breast + GYN Cancers? The Breasties Are in Your Corner
Manage episode 444132426 series 3457111
Co-Founder and Chief Content Officer Bri Majsiak and Chief Community Officer Trish Michelle share their powerful stories of previving and surviving breast and gynecological cancers, and how the Breasties - the first all-inclusive nonprofit organization that creates community for survivors, previvors, stage 4 thrivers, and caregivers impacted by breast and gynecologic cancers - was born to counteract the gaps that exist in cancer care, support, research and representation, especially for people of color. The ladies teach us the importance of “knowing your normal”, self-advocating in medical spaces, learning your family’s medical history, and having access to information and resources. Tabria also gets the inside scoop on the famed Breasties Camp, why Trish feels like Mariah Carey every October, and what Bobbie is doing to help address the feeding equity gap and rewrite the narrative around feeding with the Bobbie Breasties program (matching $25k to the Breasties during the month of October).
