Be kind to the less experienced version of yourself that didn’t know any better

Be kind to the present day version of yourself that is fighting to break harmful habits now that you know better

Be kind to future versions of yourself by doing the best you can with what you have

The American Cancer Society Society launched a 30-year study last week to study racial inequities in cancer diagnoses and death among Black women.

They plan to enroll 100,000 Black women ages 25 to 55 in the U.S.making it the largest study of its kind ever conducted in the country.

'With few exceptions, Black women are more likely to be diagnosed with late-stage cancer, aggressive tumor types and have higher cancer-specific mortality rates,' -American Cancer Society Lauren E. McCullough. More on #acsvoices NBC News. Alpa Patel ACS Research nbcnews.com/health/cancer/…
