Help Us Celebrate 5 Years!

And to celebrate, we’re throwing a party with a purpose that aims to educate, empower, and equip our beloved community to and through Black Breast Cancer. Together with our community partners, our advisory boards, our supporters, and our honorees, we will curate a weekend of collaboration, insight, and Black joy.

In the spring of 2020, Dr. Monique Gary and Ricki Fairley went live on Ricki's personal Facebook to talk to our community about the importance of breast cancer screening and treatment during the COVID pandemic. All they had was a vision and a dream. Over a thousand people watched that first ‘episode.’ They moved over to BlackDoctor.org and their second conversation garnered over 40K views. It was clear that these conversations were sorely needed.

Since then, TOUCH has reached over 3.5 million viewers with our web series The Doctor Is In, reached over 1 million young Black women with our For the Love of My Gurls campaign, motivated nearly 25K individuals into clinical trial portals through When We Tri(al), hosted and supported over 250 community events, developed four websites curated for Black Blessties by Black Blessties (including touchbbca.org & blacktnbcsanctuary.org), partnered with over 100 community organizations, published our research in a peer-reviewed journal and presented a separate research poster at SABCS, and so much more. We still have much work to do!

Come celebrate with us and WALK IN OUR SHOES this May 3rd & 4th in Washington, D.C.!

As always, your donation helps us to support Black Blessties and advance science for Black Breast Cancer. For this event, your donation of $150 allows one Blesstie to attend our celebration, surrounded by community and resources.
