In honor of Pride Month, this week, we are highlighting Audre Lorde, a writer and activist whose work explored identity, power, and the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and health. 🏳️‍🌈✍️

Born in New York City to immigrant parents from Grenada, Lorde became a leading voice in civil rights, feminism, and LGBTQ+ liberation. 📣 After her breast cancer diagnosis, she wrote openly about the illness, challenging silence around health and lived experience.

At YWCA Princeton, we support creating space for honest dialogue and shared experience, especially around identity, health, and belonging. Lorde’s legacy reminds us of the importance of speaking openly and making space for every lived experience. 🧡👏

Spreading knowledge, building awareness, and supporting our community is just one part of what our Breast Cancer Resource Center (BCRC) does. 💗

Last month, our BCRC presented a Breast Health 101 presentation to AAWCC Mercer Chapter at Mercer County Community College. Led by our BCRC team, this complimentary session covers everything from early detection and prevention to understanding risk factors, signs, and symptoms—empowering individuals with the tools they need to take charge of their health. 👩‍⚕️✨👏

A special thank you to Ms. Lucia Brown-Joseph and the AAWCC Mercer Chapter for their continued support, including their fundraiser this past October which helped to benefit our Breast Cancer Resource Center programs. 🥰

Interested in bringing Breast Health 101 to your school, workplace, or community group? We offer both in-person and virtual sessions—because awareness should be accessible to all. For more information make sure to visit our website! 💕
