Breast Cancer Awareness

This Friends Like Us features Jenny Saldaña and Abbi Crutchfield. The guests discuss donuts and weekend activities as well as more serious topics like breast cancer awareness.  Jenny talks about her personal battle with breast cancer, including issues of systemic racism and cultural challenges faced by women of color in healthcare. Jenny's upcoming comedy show, 'Hooray for Boobies,' aims to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer.  We also emphasize the importance of medical advocacy, disparities in healthcare, and a shocking revelation about music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs' criminal activities. The discussion concludes with anecdotes about childhood curiosity, discipline, and the importance of autonomy from an early age. Always hosted by Marina Franklin.
