Seen. Heard. Saved.

Detroit-raised, first-generation physician • Breast cancer survivor • Radiology resident pursuing breast imaging and mammography fellowship. Diagnosed with micro-invasive breast cancer—caught only because she advocated for the advanced imaging that saved her life. Her story highlights how early detection depends on access, education, and equitable care for women with dense breast tissue, especially women of color.

“Early detection should not require insider knowledge.”

About

Grateful for mammography. Committed to better detection.

Mammography saves lives—every day. And for some patients, including those with dense breast tissue, it may not be enough. Patients deserve options. Providers deserve tools. Policy must catch up with science.
