We've learned that together, we're stronger, and in the field of cancer research, we know that.
So there is no cure that comes from the work of one person.
If we have a diversity of voices at the table contributing to how the cure must be found, that is how I think that everybody is gonna get access to the different cures that are coming out.
There is a lot of data out there about how a lot of marginalized groups do not have access to clinical trials because they just don't know it.
And one doctor described a clinical trial as the bus that takes you to the cure.
And so if you don't even get access to the bus, how are you even gonna get to the cure?
So one of the things I try to work on is I try to encourage a lot of especially black young women who want to go into STEM.
I try to encourage 'em because that is the only way we can change the conversation, and if there isn't a seat for you at the table, well, Shirley Chisholm said bring your own chair, but I love to even build my own table.
