Reflecting on last weekend’s BaddieCon2025 in Atlanta, I am filled with pride and gratitude. Looking out into the audience and seeing all those beautiful faces of Black/Women of Color, where we did not have to shrink ourselves, was truly empowering! Thank you For The Breast of Us! #blackbreastcancer

Will you be starting treatment before surgery for early-stage triple negative #breastcancer? Ask your doctor about #clinicaltrial S2212. It tests shorter chemo-immunotherapy without anthracycline drugs. Learn more swog.org/S2212. Or call 1-800-4-CANCER @ibcresearch1.bsky.social @raalbany.bsky.social
