The Breasties believe in the power of bringing everyone together, while at the same time, honoring the importance of protected spaces.
Thanks to our incredible trauma-informed and social justice trained community hosts, we are able to provide free weekly virtual meetups that are for the community and by the community.
Meetups are protected spaces where you can gather weekly around topics that include; stage 4 thrivers, gynecologic cancers, LGBTQ+ Breasties, newly diagnosed, active treatment, BIPOC Breasties, and more.
