A Letter To My Sisters: A Breast Cancer Documentary For Young Women
The documentary features:
One Jamaican/Asian/Puerto Rican Woman, Janique Rivera, who was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) in her 20s.
One Mexican Woman, Brenda Dorantes, who was diagnosed in her 30s; the conversation is in Spanish with English subtitles.
One Caucasian Woman, Lynne Mitchell, who was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) in her 40s
As I wrote and directed this documentary, my goal was to start the conversation regarding breast cancer and breast health. As it is important to talk about the disease, it is equally important to talk about prevention. Some prevention methods include, but not limited to: breastfeeding, reducing sugary and alcoholic intake, exercising, eating nutritional foods, not smoking, and achieving a healthy body weight [Cited: Helen F. Graham Cancer Center and Research Institute, Community Research Advisory Board]. It is also important to learn your family cancer history, know your body, and advocate for yourself!
