Breast cancer is the most common cancer among African American women.

Jackson, a 24-year two-time breast cancer survivor is the first Honoree for the BETHer Fights Breast Cancer Award. She is nationally recognized as a true visionary, leader and champion in the African American breast cancer movement. Jackson was recently diagnosed for a third time, but credits her regular mammogram screenings for the early detection.

“I am blessed that my recent breast cancer recurrence was found in the early stage and the prognosis for recovery is very good,” said Karen E. Jackson, Founder/CEO, Sisters Network®. “We can survive breast cancer with early detection, but it starts with making your health a TOP priority.”

Founded in 1994, Sisters Network is the only national African American breast cancer survivorship organization. Jackson founded the organization due to the lack of “sisterhood” she experienced in traditional organizations. For 23 years, Sisters Network has given a voice to African American breast cancer survivors and has helped break through the silence and shame often felt by black women.
