Why This Gathering Matters

On International Women’s Day, we are coming together to honor resilience, advocacy, faith, and sisterhood.

This isn’t just a book launch.
It is a celebration of thirteen Black women who chose to tell the truth about cancer — diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, recurrence, and loss.

We will also honor the memory of two courageous contributors whose stories live on through these pages.

What to Expect

• Author Spotlights
• Live Readings
• Memorial Tribute
• Q&A with the Authors
• Book Signing
• Light Refreshments

Representation Matters

Black women face significant disparities in cancer outcomes, yet our voices are often missing from the narrative. This event centers lived experience, advocacy, and healing — in our own words.

Come celebrate the power of story.
Come support survivorship.
Come stand in community.

Our Strength

We Are Not Statistics
We are women with names, families, scars, and strength.

We Are Surviving Together
Community transforms fear into resilience.

Visionary

Tara Tucker has had the vision to do this book since completing her treatments in August of 2017. She met Neicy via referral and received her "With love chemo care packages" and was the January 2018 model in her calendar.

Partner

Neicy Johnson has a heart for women affected by cancer, and when she met Tara, they hit it off immediately. Neicy founded her organization in 2019 and has helped countless survivors. She was excited to partner with Tara in this project and share her own story.
