She Wears a Crown

Celebrating & Empowering Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) Survivors

Our Partners

What is the NANA Project?

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has a shockingly high mortality rate among Black women.

The NANA Project is our response, dedicated to educating and empowering Black women and gender-expansive individuals affected by TNBC. We provide a sanctuary for education, awareness, and resources on breast cancer detection and survival.

We're on a mission to inform, uplift, and ensure no one faces another preventable death. Together, we can change the narrative and save lives.
