Summary

Journalists and survivors Michelle Zacarias and Alex Zaragoza tackle cancer, medical bias, and the systemic barriers facing the Latino community. After being diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer (Alex) and Colorectal Cancer (Micelle), these journalists use their platforms to talk about the importance of early screening for younger adults to the life-saving power of self-advocacy. We explore how breaking the silence around our bodies is a radical act of survival.
