Breast Health 2025 - The Importance of Community Partnerships

This past week has been eventful. We have been out in the community as usual strategizing on the work that needs to be done. Education is catalyst and we are on a mission, collaborating with our partners with a focus on changing the narrative for black women and breast cancer despite the landscape. This event was organized by our community partners Black Women For Wellness Los Angeles and sponsored by Fabletics. Yes, we were there!

Topics included:

• Research and Pilot Projects

• Special Intervention Programs

• Safer Cosmetics

• Health Equity

• Support Services and screening

Several others from neighboring organizations (Cancer Community South Bay, Watts Health Foundation, WOC Breast Cancer Survivor's Support Project, AMAAD Institute and Project Food Box) were in attendance. Project Food Box is a new community resource catering to those with a chronic disease diagnosis (of any kind), and who are Medi-cal recipients. The event closed with a tour of the new mobile mammography unit from Watts Health Foundation. A special thanks to James Johnson, BSRS of Watts Health for 'taking it to the streets' (his work) in our community and for supporting this outreach.
