About Us

Dr. Nikki Taylor, MD is a breast cancer survivor, radiology resident, and nationally emerging advocate for early detection and health equity. A Detroit-raised, first-generation physician, Dr. Taylor speaks with clarity, compassion, and authority—bridging lived experience with medical expertise.

While training in radiology, Dr. Taylor was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer after standard screening failed to detect her disease due to extremely dense breast tissue. Her diagnosis, discovered only after she advocated for advanced imaging, transformed her from physician-in-training to patient—and ultimately into a powerful voice calling for change.

Dr. Taylor’s talks explore the unseen gaps in breast cancer screening, the disproportionate impact on women of color, and the importance of listening to patients—especially when systems fall short. She speaks candidly about resilience, self-advocacy, institutional bias, and what it means to survive not only cancer, but the structures that too often silence vulnerable voices.

Audiences connect deeply with Dr. Taylor’s ability to educate, challenge, and inspire. Whether addressing medical professionals, community organizations, or leadership audiences, she leaves listeners with both knowledge and a call to action: early detection saves lives—but only when everyone is truly seen.
