Did you know that Black Americans face a disproportionate risk when it comes to blood health? Multiple myeloma, for example, is the most common blood cancer in people of African descent—and Black individuals are twice as likely to be diagnosed and face twice the mortality risk compared to White individuals.
These statistics aren't a biological inevitability; they are fueled by delayed diagnoses and systemic barriers to healthcare access. We can change this by showing up, learning our risks, and taking control of our health.
Join us on Thursday, September 17th, 7 pm for our upcoming Blood Cancer Awareness Virtual Event to learn the signs, understand your risk, and protect your family’s future.
