“Breast health is about more than early detection. It’s about having the knowledge, resources, and support to care for our bodies and advocate for our health,” says Arnedra Jordan, BWW’s Director of Programs. “We know the statistics. Black women continue to face disproportionately high breast cancer mortality rates due to systemic barriers. Our work at BWW is not only about improving breast health outcomes, but also making sure Black women feel confident and empowered about their breasts. The Bra Party is all about celebrating your body.”
“Black Women for Wellness’ annual Bra Party creates a joyful space for women to celebrate survivorship, connect with one another, and engage in meaningful conversations about our health,” says executive director Janette Robinson Flint. “Through events like this, we’re empowering women to take charge of their health and embrace confidence at every stage of life. We recognize that joy, healing, and advocacy are all part of our collective wellness.”
