"Empowering Black Women: Overcoming Breast Cancer with Community Support and Natural Beauty Products"

Tiah Tomlin-Harris, a breast cancer survivor, founded My Style Matters, a nonprofit organization that educates and supports Black women affected by cancer. The organization provides a sisterhood for women to learn about breast education, toxic beauty products, and prevention efforts. Through programs like "Kick Can’t-cer Care Kits" and "Hey Girl Hey Parties," they offer nontoxic beauty products and education on clean living. My Style Matters also aims to reach younger women through events like "Teen Talk Tuesdays" to raise awareness about cancer prevention. The organization addresses the disproportionate impact of cancer on Black women and challenges racist beauty standards underlying toxic products targeted at them.
