Who We Are
We are patients, survivors, community advocates, doctors, and professional leaders all committed to one purpose – improving the lives of African Americans affected by this disease.
We know that reproductive healthcare for African Americans is not as it should be, and we are here to bridge the gap.
On this website, we hope you find the community and knowledge you are looking for. If you are ready to give back, we hope you join us in our national efforts to set a new standard of research on this condition. Research that respects us, that is focused on what matters to us, and that is designed to improve our health and wellbeing.
Research & Advocacy
We recognize the critical need for equity and inclusion in research and investigation.
Our mission is to ensure that African American women with endometrial cancer are prioritized in scientific studies and healthcare discussions. By stepping up and claiming our seat at the table, we aim to influence research agendas, advocate for inclusive clinical trials, and ultimately increase survival rates for our community.
