Know Your Girls Campaign
Learn more about how you can stay on top of your breast health
Black women in the U.S. are about 40% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women. We can all change that.
Since its founding in 1982, Susan G. Komen® has led the movement to make breast cancer something that women talk about and fight in public, rather than hiding in silence. As awareness grows and treatment options improve, deaths from breast cancer have dropped by 38%.
At In My Solitude LA, we’re excited to work with Know Your Girls to help reduce this percentage even further. During many of our Intention Candle Making Experiences, we often host survivors and share information cards about the mission of Know Your Girls.
But we’re not done. Susan G. Komen’s new bold goal is to reduce the current number of breast cancer deaths by 50% in the U.S. by 2026. The first step to closing this health disparity is to help black women take charge of their breast health by getting information. Please take a moment and learn more about Know Your Girls and then share what you’ve learned on your social media. Be sure to tag @knowyourgirls and @inmysolitudela
