When We Tri(al):
TOUCH, The Black Breast Cancer Alliance is bringing together organizations from all corners of healthcare to demand better treatments and change the game for Black women, the breast cancer community, and generations to come. TOUCH drives collaborative efforts across the breast cancer ecosystem to work towards the common goal of eradicating Black Breast Cancer. TOUCH hosts The Doctor Is In – the premiere Black Breast Cancer web series with an annual viewership of 3 million – and talk one-on-one with Black Blessties every single day. MBCure was honored to have the CEO and Co-Founder of TOUCH, Ricki Fairley, as a keynote speaker at our 2024 Gala.
