1 in 8 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime (American Cancer Society, 2024). Early detection through mammograms can reduce the risk of dying from breast cancer by 25% to 30%. Black women in the U.S. are 40% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women, despite similar incidence rates, highlighting urgent needs for equitable care. Studies show that emotional support, community connection, and self-care improve quality of life and recovery outcomes for those undergoing treatment. These numbers are not just statistics—they represent mothers, sisters, daughters, and friends. Beauty & Strength is our way of bringing comfort, hope, and confidence to those fighting today.
