Join the Cierra Sisters and LANGSTON for a powerful World Cancer Day gathering centered on awareness, education, and community for Black women navigating cancer. 

Experience inspiring speakers, local vendors, opportunities to connect, and a tribute to Cierra Sisters’ founder, Bridgette Hempstead. The event also includes the signature panel, “The Big Five: Understanding the Cancers Disproportionately Affecting Us — Stories, Strength, and Community.” This conversation will bring together survivors, experts, and advocates to unpack the top five cancers impacting our community.

Doors open at 10:30 AM. Lunch will be served as we come together to learn, uplift one another, and strengthen our future. 

FOMO is real.
