Description

What happens when a diagnosis feels like a death sentence? For Karen Eubanks Jackson, it became the beginning of a movement.


In this powerful segment of SIS: Sisters In Survivorship, Karen shares how she survived breast cancer four times, how she could sense cancer in her body even when tests came back clear, and why early detection is so critical for Black women.




She also reveals the moment she realized there was no national organization supporting African American women with breast cancer — and how that void inspired her to create Sisters Network Inc., now with 30+ survivor-run chapters across the country.




For Karen, Sisters Network is more than an organization. It is her life’s purpose. It is proof that advocacy, community, and policy change can save lives and shape a better future for Black women.


This is a story of resilience, faith, and sisterhood. It is also a call to action: trust your body, speak up for your health, and join a movement that will not stop until every sister is seen, heard, and supported.
