As Breast Cancer Awareness Month highlights the importance of early detection, Sisters Network Inc. is working to help Black women overcome financial barriers to breast cancer screenings and treatment.

Caleen Allen, executive vice president of Sisters Network Inc., and Dee Manuel Cloud, a two-time breast cancer survivor and breast cancer recovery strategist, joined KPRC 2 to raise awareness about breast cancer disparities and highlight resources available to help women access screenings, treatment and financial assistance.

The Houston-based national organization provides emotional support, education and financial assistance through its network of more than 30 affiliate chapters across the country.
