Our History
Sistahs Surviving Breast Cancer (SSBC) was organized in 2000 by a group of breast cancer survivors at Mt. Zion Progressive Missionary Baptist Church as a faith-based community support group under the leadership of Jacqueline Y. “JB” Brown.
Sistahs Surviving Breast Cancer is a community support group organized to assist African American and other minority women through their fight against breast cancer.
Mission
Our mission is to support and educate our community and help reduce the disparities in breast cancer deaths, treatment, and recovery, and to dispel the myths in minority communities through education by:
