Get To Know Us
I wish we had this website six years ago when I was diagnosed.”

“I was diagnosed with triple negative in 2020 and no one really knew anything to give me. I was just told it was the most aggressive subtype and it has limited resources. A lot of the information that was given to me was not accurate. Although we might not get that information at our doctor’s office, now we have a place where we can find it.”

Our Mission

The Black TNBC Sanctuary is a safe and trusted home for Black and Afro-Latina individuals diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer and their loved ones. Here, you can find everything you need to understand your specific diagnosis and feel equipped to make the best decisions for you. Built from the lived experience of our Black and Afro-Latina TNBC community and the knowledge of leading TNBC medical experts, the Black TNBC Sanctuary changes and grows based on the needs of our community.
