Breaking the Silence on Breast Cancer in Black Women — with Karen Eubanks Jackson, Founder of Sisters Network Inc.

from Better Black Health · host Gregory L. Hall, MD

Black women are 40% more likely to die of breast cancer than white women. Karen Eubanks Jackson has spent more than 30 years fighting to change that. A four-time breast cancer survivor and founder/CEO of Sisters Network® Inc. — the nation's only national African American breast cancer survivorship organization — Karen joins Dr. Greg Hall to discuss why early detection saves lives, how survivor-led chapters across the country are supporting Black women through diagnosis and treatment, and why breaking the silence around breast cancer in the Black community is a matter of life and death. Karen is the recipient of the ASCO Patient Advocate Award and author of In the Company of My Sisters.Learn more or find a chapter near you:Website: https://www.sistersnetworkinc.org | [email protected] | 866-781-1808Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sistersnetwork/Twitter/X: https://x.com/sistersnetworkTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sistersnetworkLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sisters-network/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sistersnetwork & https://www.youtube.com/@SisInSurvivorshipPodcastEach episode of Better Black Health is sponsored by GNetX Sequence Multivitamins for African Americans and the Better Black Health book, which addresses many of the healthcare disparities faced by the Black community.
