For The Breast Of Us' mission is to empower women of color affected by breast cancer to make the rest of their lives the best of their lives through education, advocacy and community. @forthebreastofus
Jasmine Souers, a breast cancer survivor from Jacksonville, FL, was diagnosed with stage I breast cancer at the age of 26. Diagnosed just two days before the new year in 2016, Jasmine thought the results of her biopsy would determine the trajectory of the upcoming year, but that couldn’t have been further from the truth. In 2017, with the support of her family and close friends, Jasmine underwent a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction and 25 rounds of proton therapy radiation.
Marissa Thomas is a four-year breast cancer survivor from Tacoma, WA. Diagnosed in November 2015 at the age of 35, with Stage II High-Grade Invasive Ductal Carcinoma In-Situ (DCIS) 35% ER positive, just shy 3 months of her 36th birthday. Her active treatment in 2016 consisted of lumpectomy, Chemotherapy, Radiation and two reconstruction surgeries. While in treatment, Marissa turned to social media as a way to connect with other women and find stories similar to hers in hopes of making the journey easier.
