In this exciting episode, our very special guest is the wonderful Javacia Harris Bowser, an award-winning freelance journalist, columnist, and essayist and the founder of See Jane Write — a website and community for women who write and blog. Her writing focuses on women’s issues, wealth and wellness. In this episode we discuss Javacias experience with beating breast cancer at 38, and how to win at freelancing. Javacia transitioned from a 10-year career in teaching to her full-time, See Jane Write.

According to a study that was recently published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers, & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, “while breast cancer mortality rates have declined over the last few decades, Black women are still twice as likely to die from breast cancer compared to other ethnicities”. This is according to results of a study led by Robert Hines, associate professor of population health sciences at the College of Medicine. Javacia discussed the importance of good health-care for Black and minority women and how she uses her voice to advocate through partners like the Tigerlily Foundation. After her diagnosis, Javacia also changed her lifestyle and her transition to freelnacing also helped her cope with the demands of her cancer treatment schedule and needs, which took place during the COVID-19 pandemic.
