Fumiko Ladd Chino: Breast cancer clip art and lack of representation of diverse women

Fumiko Ladd Chino, Radiation Oncologist at

Creating a new presentation on breast cancer & disappointed by the lack of skin colour & body type diversity in the clip art/iconography available.

Slim light skinned women with C-D cup breasts do NOT represent the majority of pts with bcsm so why is that all I see here.
