    Sisters Network® Inc., the nation’s pioneer and leading Black-led national breast cancer survivorship organization, is bringing the 2025 National Black Breast Cancer Summit back to Houston, Texas, October 3–5, 2025.

    The summit hosted by the Hyatt Regency-Gelleria, 2626 Sage Rd., is open to the public and will convene top medical experts, survivors, advocates, and community leaders to address the breast cancer crisis affecting Black women in America. Registration is now open at www.sistersnetworkinc.org.

    “Black women are still dying at disproportionate rates, and the data hasn’t changed enough,” said Karen E. Jackson, Founder and CEO of Sisters Network® Inc. “This Summit is about more than awareness; it’s about action, solutions, and saving lives. We are bringing together the brightest minds and boldest voices to push for real change.”

    This isn’t just another conference; it’s a critical gathering designed to address the stark reality that Black women are still dying from breast cancer at disproportionately high rates. By attending, you’ll gain access to a platform where leading medical experts, committed advocates, and courageous survivors converge to forge tangible solutions. This is your opportunity to learn directly from the brightest minds in oncology and public health, engage in crucial conversations about health equity, and connect with a supportive community that understands the unique challenges faced by Black women.

    Attending this summit means joining a powerful movement rooted in empowerment and change. You will gain actionable knowledge, from understanding the latest research and early detection strategies to learning how to advocate for yourself and your loved ones within the healthcare system. The summit’s focus on solutions over just statistics ensures that every moment is dedicated to creating a real-world impact. Whether you are a survivor, a family member, a healthcare professional, or an ally, your presence contributes to a collective force that can change the narrative and save lives. This is a chance to move from being a bystander to a changemaker, helping to build a future where every Black woman has an equal chance at survivorship.

    This year’s summit is presented with generous support from Platinum Sponsor Lilly, Bronze Sponsors Pfizer and Eisai, and Supporter Genentech.

    Sisters Network® Inc. has led the national conversation on Black breast health for over 30 years and continues to champion early detection, health equity, and survivor support through grassroots outreach and national advocacy. Since launching its Breast Cancer Assistance Program (BCAP), the organization has awarded over $1.6 million in financial assistance and mammogram support.

    “As a survivor and advocate, I know how critical it is that Black women feel seen, heard, and supported,” added Jackson. “Our work is rooted in sisterhood, and this Summit is where education, empowerment, and community collide.”

    On Saturday, October 4, at 12:00 p.m., the Summit will also feature the highly anticipated Pretty in Pink Luncheon, celebrating breast cancer survivors with live entertainment. Tickets for the luncheon are $100, with proceeds benefiting the Karen E. Jackson Breast Cancer Assistance Program.

    Take Action, Save Lives. Be a part of the solution. Register now to secure your spot at this pivotal summit. Your participation supports vital conversations, promotes early detection, and champions health equity. Visit www.sistersnetworkinc.org to register and learn how you can help.
