The goal of the 5-City Pink Power tour is to educate Black women about the TNBC crisis impacting Black women, empower TNBC patients through their journey, and discuss the importance of clinical trial participation, knowing your family history, and how to be your own self-advocate. The Pink Power tour cities chosen statistically have a high number of Black women diagnosed in those states.

 

“Sisters Network Nashville has been one of our affiliate chapters in existence for the past 23 years, and we are excited to bring the Pink Power Tour to one of our established chapters,” stated Karen E. Jackson, Founder/CEO, Sisters Network® Inc. “During those years, the Nashville chapter has shared breast cancer awareness information, support, nutritional advice, and financial assistance to Black survivors in underserved areas in their community.”

 

“We are very blessed and excited to have The Pink Power Tour come to Nashville, TN. The tour is especially important because it shares information that educates and reaches the underserved areas in Nashville, Tennessee. We are excited for these areas to know more about Triple Negative Breast Cancer amongst the African American population in Nashville. This tour will help empower our community with this knowledge.”

 

—Doris McLay, President Nashville Affiliate Chapter
