The third week of October is quite busy, so let's start with Breast Cancer Awareness. Do you know the proper way to examine yourself? It is important to have a conversation with your physician, if you have family history of breast cancer or any cancer. Men and Women are equally vulnerable to breast cancer, so please incorporate self check as part of your self care.
I choose these videos for the following reasons:
- Women of color are more vulnerable to breast cancer because of the language and culture surrounding education of health and lack of access
- I need you to see real women not a mannequin
- Representation matters, read that twice.
