Racial disparities in healthcare
In this episode, we continue to discuss the issues surrounding racial disparities in MBC healthcare.
We speak with leading MBC advocates, Sheila McGlown and Chawnte Randall, and with the social media breast cancer leaders, Jasmine Souers and Marissa Thomas of For The Breast Of US about their own experiences and how they advocate for their own treatment and for those in their communities. It is a wide-ranging conversation that covers clinical trial access, the #inclusionpledge, mental health, and the amazing initiatives these women are part of.
