Bold Moves for BaddieCon starts NOW! This #GivingTuesday, we’re calling on our amazing community to help make BaddieCon 2024 a reality for all Breast Cancer Baddies. As a grassroots organization, we don’t have the financial backing of larger nonprofits so we rely on YOUR bold moves to break barriers with us and ensure women of color impacted by breast cancer can access life-changing opportunities. Your contributions support: 📌 Scholarships so no baddie is left out of BaddieCon. 📌 Inspiring Speakers who empower and educate. 📌 Unforgettable Experiences that redefine survivorship. Your bold move today could change a baddie’s survivorship tomorrow. Together, we can create a space that uplifts, celebrates, and empowers our community. Our goal is $25k and with your help, we can make this happen! Ready to make your move? Every dollar counts. Every gift makes an impact. Let’s show the world what bold moves can do. Even just a $25 donation will go a long way. We thank you in advance. https://lnkd.in/gEP9jExb

For the Breast of Us is a community for women of color affected by breast cancer. #AllMelanin #AllMoxie #AllTogether
About us
A cancer diagnosis changes everything. As a woman of color, where do you go or who do you turn to when you’re in the midst of the fight of your life? You search online for stories and images of women who’ve gone through treatment and look like you, but you find little to nothing. Maybe you scroll down your timeline on social media, hoping to see a glimmer of hope in the face of other fighters and survivors, but you still yearn for something more. That’s where “For the Breast of Us” comes in. Our mission is to empower women of color affected by breast cancer to make the rest of their lives the best of their lives through education, advocacy, and community.

🌟 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
"The Tuskegee [experiment] happened... We can't pretend it didn't." HOPA spoke with member Veronica Ajewole-Mwema, PharmD, BCOP earlier in the year to discuss, among other things, the many layers of BIPOC underrepresentation in Cancer Clinical Trials, as well as her remarkable research work. Check out the insightful discussion on HOPA's website: https://bit.ly/3AQuobK
