S3EP4 - Beyond The Pink Ribbon: Breast Cancer Advocacy

Too Young For This Shit | AYA Breast Cancer Podcast

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month highlights the importance of advocacy, Rosalina and Shauna discuss the diverse forms of advocacy one can take, emphasizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. They touch upon how individuals can become advocates, from sharing their stories on social media to supporting friends and loved ones through their breast cancer journeys.

They also share their advocacy work together, including participation in panels for non-profit organizations, being on the Kelly Clarkson Show, and supporting communities. Lastly, they provide important insights into the challenges and responsibilities of public advocacy and the importance of setting boundaries to prioritize self-care.

If you are looking to make a difference and become an advocate, we invite you to visit our resources page. You'll find a comprehensive list of organizations we support and a program designed to empower anyone to become an advocate.
