Fighting Breast Cancer

Bridgette Hempstead is the founder and CEO of Cierra Sisters, an organization on a mission to break the cycle of fear and increase knowledge concerning breast cancer in the African-American and underserved communities. Her mother and grandmother taught her the value of community and looking out for others, especially when it comes to arming people with the right knowledge so that they can look after themselves. Her own personal journey with breast cancer and navigating the American health system inspired her activism and advocacy for breast cancer awareness. She is passionate about ensuring equal and fair treatment for all those diagnosed with breast cancer.
