Sacramento nonprofit advocates for Black women fighting breast cancer

October is breast cancer awareness month. A Sacramento nonprofit aimed at helping Black women with breast cancer just kicked off a video campaign to raise awareness about racial disparities in the battle against breast cancer. The video, called #breastcancerbelike, was made by breast cancer survivor Rev. Tammie Denyse and is partly based on her own experience. Denyse is the founder of Carrie's Touch, a nonprofit organization in Sacramento that provides advocacy, support, resources, research and education for Black women battling breast cancer.
