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.

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!
