About this Event

Breast cancer doesn’t only affect women — and it doesn’t discriminate based on race or age. Black women are being diagnosed at later stages and younger ages, and Black men are too often left out of the conversation altogether. It’s time to break the silence.

Join and in partnership with the , for this powerful edition of Vitals & Vision: Your Health | Your Legacy. Together with a team of professionals, we’ll explore:

  • Why screenings and early detection save lives
  • The role of family history in prevention and care
  • How breast cancer impacts both women and men in our community
  • Pathways to resilience, awareness, and support

Panelists:
Emma Guzman , DDS (General Dentist & Wellness Advocate)

Nathaniel Saintus, DNP, AGACNP-BC, FNP-BC (WeDriveHealth, Founder & CEO)

Moderated by Christopher Williams (Founder & CEO of Heart, Body & Soul)

This is more than an awareness conversation — it’s a call to action. Whether you’re a daughter, mother, son, brother, or friend, this conversation is for you. Let’s build a legacy of health together.

Don’t wait for a diagnosis. Awareness is the first step to saving lives.

Who should attend:

  • Men and women of all ages invested in their health
  • Caregivers and family members
