This presentation by Sister Abi aims to empower women with information to help defeat breast cancer. It will cover:
* 5 steps you can take to reduce your risk ,
* How not breast feeding can increase your risk
* What food and lifestyles increase liability
* The signs that ensure early detection.
* How such information is made difficult to access (there has only ever been one study on how cancer affects black women in the UK)

She is currently Programme Manager for an infomatics project for a major cancer charity.
