FollowAn important evening at the inaugural @blackwomenrisinguk Fundraising Gala.
Black Women Rising UK offer culturally sensitive support, information, and advice for women of colour diagnosed with cancer.
The diagnosis, outcomes, and treatment for women of colour with cancer are significantly different to White counterparts. Due to cultural tattoos, fears, and more, black and brown experience a very different cancer journey.
Black Women Rising UK highlight the challenges faced by women of colour with cancer, ensuring they feel seen, heard, and included in the UK wide cancer narrative. This is crucial for raising awareness within marginalised communities.
Through their bespoke projects, events, and initiatives, they empower their patrons on their cancer journeys while educating healthcare providers and support services to offer appropriate cancer support.
Tonight was emotional and empowering.
Emotional speeches by Dawn Butler and Liz Hurley.
