Summary: Revolutionary Sistas of the Diaspora Black and Brown Sistas coming together to discuss topical issues of race, social & economic justice, gender equality and everything in between. The rates of incidences of breast cancer and domestic violence are staggering, especially as it relates to the black and brown community. For example, according to the Sloane Epidemiology Center Black women have a 42% higher rate of death than white women and the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society Latina women were diagnosed with breast cancer at a younger age and with later-stage breast disease. Regarding domestic violence, the National Center on Violence in the Black Community reports that black women are about 13% of the U.S. population but they are about half of female homicide victims. And the National Latina Network states that 1 in 3 Latinas have experience domestic violence. These statistics should alarm us all and we will address both issues in our conversation this week. Join us for this important discussion at (347) 857-2878. Our guest will include Nacole Ali, author of Warrior Built to Last and breast cancer survivor. #breastcancerawarenessmonth #domesticviolenceawarenessmonth E-MAIL: sistasofdiaspora@gmail.com Instagram: @sistasdiaspora Twitter: @SistasDiaspora Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SistasDiaspora/
