October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and my guest is breast cancer survivor Lolita Bonilla Brooks. Many of us know someone that has been devastated by a diagnosis of breast cancer. According to breastcancer.org, nearly 282,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S. this year, and Black women not only have the highest breast cancer death rates of all racial and ethnic groups, they have a 41 percent higher rate of breast cancer deaths than White women. Lolita is here to share her journey on becoming a survivor. Let’s listen to what she has to say.
