About this video

In this episode, we talk with two survivors diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Maimah Karmo and Jonell Deshotel. Watch, listen and learn as they get personal about their experience in addition to sharing facts, empowerment and education. Jonell describes that when she felt the lump, she intuitively knew what it was. Growing up as a teenager, Jonelle learned about breast cancer through her mom’s diagnosis. It was her experience as a caregiver then as a patient that led her to advocacy and becoming a Tigerlily ANGEL Advocate Lead. “There are more and more women being diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, women under 40, Women of Color.” TNBC tends to grow and spread more quickly than most other types of breast cancer, studies also reporting African-American women are 3 times more likely to develop TNBC than white women. We are doing something to empower Black women and working together to make sure we have a better outcome.
