About the event

Each year, Cierra Sisters proudly honors World Cancer Day, aligning their work with a global call to raise awareness, reduce disparities, and advocate for equitable access to cancer education, prevention, and care especially within the Black community. This year their event will be called Our Health, Our Voices, Our Future! It will be a powerful, community-centered gathering designed to inform, connect, and mobilize.

At the heart of the morning is our featured panel discussion, The Big Five: Understanding the Cancers Disproportionately Affecting Us. Stories, Strength, and Community. Five distinguished panelists will lead an anchored, accessible conversation exploring the cancers that most significantly affect the Black community. Through personal stories, professional insight, and shared dialogue, the panel will create space for education, truth-telling, and empowerment grounded in knowledge, advocacy, and community care.

This program is intentionally designed to move from awareness to action. Guests will experience moments of reflection, recognition, and vision-setting with a presentation on the Bridgette’s House project, Cierra Sisters’ long-term vision for a rest and respite center for women navigating cancer. The gathering concludes with a communal meal, a curated vendor marketplace, music, and opportunities for connection because information, healing, and joy are strongest when shared in community.
