Our CEO & Co-Founder Marissa Thomas, BSHCA speaking on advocating in your own lane.

2025 World Cancer Day is all about being #UnitedByUnique, and as Women of Color, our stories, our bodies, our experiences – they’re ALL unique. Because let’s be real, cancer doesn’t discriminate, but access to personalized care often does. We’re not a statistic, we’re not a stereotype. At For the Breast of Us we’re committed to closing that gap and ensuring every WOC gets the unique, patient-centered support she deserves. Your experience is your own, your story matters, and your treatment should reflect that. Let’s amplify our voices, share our experiences, and demand better for ourselves and our sisters.

???????? ????????????: ?????????? ?????????????? One of the best parts of attending San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium is seeing and meeting all of the patient advocates! We are glad to see so many wanting to learn and be apart of the conversation to help change the landscape of breast cancer treatment and research. Thank you to all of the advocates before us who made it possible for us to be in this space. It’s all about connecting and community and we can’t wait to collaborate with all of you. Special thanks to Eli Lilly and Company for sponsoring and creating a space, the patient advocate lounge, for all of the advocates. Who wants to attend SABCS in 2025? Will we see you there??

?? Diversity in Clinical Trials: A Critical Key to Equity in Cancer Care ?? Did you know that diverse participation in clinical trials is essential for advancing treatments that work for everyone? Without representation, the data we rely on to save lives doesn’t reflect the populations most impacted. At Breast Cancer BaddieCon, we’re reimagining survivorship by addressing these gaps head-on. ?? As part of this mission, we’re excited to announce a Pharmacist CE session with our partners at Texas Southern University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences - TXSUCOPHS focused on empowering medical providers to champion survivorship in more inclusive and innovative ways. When providers and survivors come together, we create a blueprint for better outcomes for ALL communities. ?? Are you a healthcare professional or educator who can contribute to this vision? We’re looking for individuals to help us offer medical or nursing CE opportunities at the event. Let’s work together to create a future where equity is at the heart of every care plan. ?? Message me if you’re ready to help us build a more inclusive path to survivorship! #BaddieCon #DiversityInClinicalTrials #BreastCancerAwareness #HealthEquity #PharmacistCE
