Black Women and Breast Cancer 4th Annual Conference — Empowerment

Event overview

We are delighted to welcome you to our hugely successful ‘Let's talk about Black Women and Breast Cancer’ conference. This year marks our 4th annual event, and we are excited to be back in person.

This conference focuses specifically on Black women, with research showing that their outcomes from breast cancer are worse. The hope is that conferences like these make a difference by beginning the process of narrowing the current survival gap.

The central theme of this year’s event is empowerment, and we hope every attendee will come away from this meeting invigorated to continue championing great outcomes for all.

Highlights include popular 'myth busting' sessions, interactive talks from experts, on the day bra fitting and a selection of educational/hands on workshops.

I do hope you will join us for what promises to be an amazing day of community, education and inspiration.

Founder of Let’s talk about... Black Women and Breast Cancer
