EP 20. Black Women Should Talk About Breast Cancer
The episode title explains it all--Black women do not talk about breast cancer enough. In this episode, I interview lawyer and advocate Erika Stallings, esq.
In this episode, Erika shares her story of when and how she found out she carried the BRCA2 gene mutation and ultimately deciding to undergo a double mastectomy.
You’ll learn what BRCA2 is, the impact it has among Black women, and helpful things to think about if you are interested in discussing this topic with your physician.

In this episode, we are focused on the topic of love and we talk about everything under the sun. The quote of the day from this episode is #dontcryforanuglyman. Lots of serious insights and funny jokes too. Tune in and enjoy.
Editor Notes:
Please excuse the long interlude at 28:45. We had some issues with ad placements. This will be corrected shortly.
We also had some audio issues around 42:00 so you will hear a jump cut around 42:51.
Thank you for your grace and understanding :) -
