We believe that having support from our like-minded community is critical to our coping and healing. We all have family and friends who love and support us, but nothing is like the unconditional love from others that share this TNBC experience.
Many of us have had the experience of going into a breast cancer support group where no one looks like us—the women are usually white, older, and all they talk about is tamoxifen and its side effects.
The following support groups and community support resources were chosen because they speak to some piece of the Black TNBC experience. Read the descriptions to learn more about each of them and pick one (or a couple!) that feels like the best fit for you.
