We are very excited to introduce our first AfroSHARE Summit on June 24, 2025!

This will be a groundbreaking, heart-centered event created for the Black community to shine a powerful light on gynecologic and breast cancer.

Rooted in culture, community, and care, the AfroSHARE Summit is more than a conference; it’s a space of connection, healing, and truth-telling. This unique gathering will bring together Black cancer patients and survivors, caregivers, advocates, clinicians, researchers, and pharmaceutical leaders in one room to share lived experiences, amplify voices, and drive collective action. Through open dialogue and interactive sessions, we will explore the real barriers our community faces and work together to push past them.

This day is about breaking the silence and honoring the strength of Black women and families navigating cancer. Attendees will gain life-saving knowledge about early warning signs and symptoms, learn how to confidently advocate for themselves and others, and dive into crucial conversations about rebuilding trust in healthcare and advancing equity in meaningful, measurable ways.

We welcome everyone, across backgrounds, ethnicities, and identities, who is committed to listening, learning, and being a part of change. Join us for a day rooted in Empowerment, Community, and Impact.

The future of health equity starts with us.
