In this episode, I’m joined by the effervescent Jasmine Souers. She is the CEO and founder of The Missing Pink Breast Cancer Alliance (https://themissingpink.org ). The Missing Pink’s mission is to connect change agents in the pursuit of health equity for communities of color affected by breast cancer.
Jasmine has first-hand experience with breast cancer. She received her diagnosis at the young age of 26, and from that day forward has made it her mission to advocate for ALL people affected by breast cancer, especially people of color. As we discuss in our interview, she believes change happens on the ground when we combine “innovation with collaboration.” There is plenty of research to show what needs to happen, so let's work together to make change happen today. Taking from her personal experience and many years advocating for others, Jasmine shares how to develop trust with your patients, how to create a healing plan focused on what matters to patients, and how to make integrative oncology resources available to everyone.
