Breast Cancer Awareness Month Kickoff: Beyond Awareness—Breast Cancer in the Afro-Caribbean Diaspora: From Health to Wellness, Tips, Resources, and Empowerment

October 1 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Join Brooklyn College as we launch Breast Cancer Awareness Month with an informative and empowering program focused on breast cancer prevention, care, wellness, and community support within the Afro-Caribbean diaspora and Haitian communities. Participants will gain access to valuable health resources, practical wellness tips, and expert guidance designed to promote informed decision-making and better health outcomes.

To ensure greater accessibility, simultaneous Haitian Creole interpretation will be provided through a partnership with the Haitian Studies Institute, enabling more community members to fully participate in the conversation.

Co-hosted by the CUNY Haitian Studies Institute and BCCC-CURE, in collaboration with the Brooklyn College Women’s Center, Health Clinic, Health and Wellness Office of Immunizations, Department of Health and Nutrition Sciences, Center for Health Promotion, and the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Brooklyn, this event highlights the importance of culturally responsive healthcare outreach.
