CANCER WHILE BLACK

By Anthonette Jacob

Cancer while Black (TM) is a docuseries showcasing the hardships and triumphs Black community members, in Ottawa, have overcome in relation to cancer. This docuseries is a small snapshot into the lives of Black Canadians who have directly and indirectly been affected by this disease. Through these stories, we want to share what a day or a time period in the life of Black Canadian families look like; as well as begin the conversation about cancer in Black Canadian communities. Cancer while Black is the launch of a series of conversations that will allow us to investigate the lives and stories of Black Canadians, as a means to create more data, research, support, advocacy and funding in hopes to look into eradicating this illness.
