💗💙 Pink and blue for a purpose!Yesterday, the division of Student Success and Enrollment Management came together in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, showing support for those impacted by breast cancer and raising awareness about the importance of early detection.
This message is especially important in the Black community. Black women face significant disparities in breast cancer outcomes, with breast cancer death rates approximately 34% higher than those of white women. These disparities remind us why awareness, access to quality care, regular screenings and community support matter.
At Medgar Evers College, we stand in solidarity with survivors, honor those we have lost, and encourage everyone to continue the conversation about breast health. 💗
