Shanise Pearce, Founder and CEO of The Advocate’s Table, shared Ricki Fairley’s, Chief Executive Officer at Touch, The Black Breast Cancer Alliance post on LinkedIn, adding:
“Tonight, I invite my community to pull up a seat for an important conversation.
Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer. It also disproportionately impacts Black women, who are more likely to be diagnosed with this subtype and face higher mortality rates.
As a Triple Negative Breast Cancer survivor and BRCA2 + PMS2 mutation carrier, I understand firsthand how critical conversations like this are. Education, research, community, and advocacy truly save lives.
That is why I am excited to tune in tonight and support this powerful discussion led by Ricki Fairley and an incredible panel of TNBC thrivers who continue to show what strength, resilience, and advocacy look like in action.
These are the conversations that move the needle forward for our community.
If you are a survivor, caregiver, healthcare professional, advocate, or someone who simply wants to learn more about Triple Negative Breast Cancer, I encourage you to join us. And if TNBC has touched your life in any way, I would love to hear from you in the comments. Your voice matters in this fight.
Let’s continue raising awareness, pushing for research, and advocating for equitable care so more lives can be saved.”
Quoting Ricki Fairley’s post:
“The Doctor Is In
Meet Our Awesome TNBC Thrivers
Meet our TNBC Blessties who are defying the odds!
For the record, here is what Black women are up against!
Black women are diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer at 2.7 times the rate of white women.
1 in 5 Black women diagnosed with breast cancer will have Triple Negative, versus only 1 in 10 for women of other racial groups.
TNBC is 33% less likely to be caught on a routine mammogram. This is why Black women often find “interval cancers”—lumps that appear between scheduled screenings.
If you are a Black woman under 40 diagnosed with breast cancer, there is a nearly 50/50 chance it is Triple Negative. For white women, that chance is only 1 in 10.
Black women are often diagnosed with TNBC 10–15 years earlier than white women.
Nearly half of all breast cancers in Black women are diagnosed at late stages, therefore a larger portion of TNBC cases are discovered at Stage III or IV.
Due to advancing science, the current treatment landscape has more options available than in the history of this disease state. For the first time ever, we have numerous clinical trials and several treatment options.
Join us this week for a discussion with these amazing thrivers who are taking TNBC by storm and living their best lives.
