Did you know that African American women with breast cancer have a 36% higher mortality rate than white women? Susan G. Komen for the Cure started the “Circle of Promise” (www.circleofpromise.org), an initiative lead by prominent African American women, to educate and engage African American women about the disease. On May 29, 2008, they announced that Gabrielle Union, Lalah Hathaway, and Synthia Saint James will become National Ambassabors for the Circle of Promise, joining Xernona Clayton, Patti Labelle, Rene Syler and others.
