Breast Cancer Survivors

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among African-American women and it's the second leading cause of cancer death among Black women just behind lung cancer.  But with early detection and good medical care, women survive breast cancer.  On the next Another View, we'll meet Fredda Bryan, a breast cancer survivor, and Karen Parker-Chesson, a breast cancer advocate.  They have words of advice for women and men about surviving and thriving with this disease.

And you'll meet Mosi Brown, a mother of two who is a whiz at coupon shopping - she'll show you how to really stretch a dollar! 

Join us for Another View, Thursday night, April 30 at 9P on WHRO, digital 15.1.

HIV/AIDS and the African-American Community

According to the Virginia Department of Health, in 2008 71% of people with HIV/AIDS in Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore were Black men – a shocking number considering African-Americans make up 12% of the population.  Black women are 23% more likely to be infected with the AIDS virus than White women.  Why is this disease ravishing our community?  We’ll talk with the experts – Jerome Cuffee, Tidewater AIDS Community Task Force; Dr. Angela Mercer, and Hildegard Richardson with Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Virginia – on the next Another View, Thursday, April 16 at 9P on WHRO, digital 15.1.
