But let’s talk about how African American women die from breast cancer more than any other women, 

And how our survivor status isn’t as celebrated in popular culture.

How every time we see some Susan G. Komen stuff, it’s white women, white women, white women, but Black women are the ones dying.

I DARE one of you snarkobots to let your mouth get jazzy about this woman or this hair.

Dare you. 

i love this! you survive something a strong, powerful, and stressful as breast cancer you can wear it any way you please. show that you are happy with your life. 

<3 this! My auntie died October ‘09 after battling breast cancer. No one mentions that black women are dying at largely disproportionate rates because for some reason, the disease is more aggressive (just like many other diseases) in African-Americans…
