The Resilience of Black Women Confronting Breast Cancer

Health
Written By The Unexpected Detour

We as Black women are the least to discuss breast cancer amongst ourselves due to the stigma and rejection from others. Today we begin a new journey to break the cycle of being inclusive about our journey by being open and transparent about Breast Cancer. Meet Angie, Zainab, Latisha, Tifanie, and Zakiarh each one has a different story, various stages, and different treatment and how they approached the disease, treatment, and survival. We will continue to support and encourage those women from our own experiences. We would like to encourage other women to share their journey with Breast Cancer because story may bless another woman facing Breast Cancer. DISCALIMER: BEFORE TRYING OTHER COURSES OF TREATMENT PLEASE CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR.

Frances Hammond’s podcast is a beacon of courage and a voice that won’t be silenced. She shares her raw tale of facing breast cancer, the adversary she faced with awe.
