Resources

This is what we do best. We share. We share our knowledge and our experience. None of us are experts in cancer, but we're all experts in managing our own lives with cancer. We lean on each other and try to make things just a little bit easier for the next person. 

Here are some of the resources and supports that have helped us, along with a list of blogs, side projects and businesses that individual OMG members have undertaken. While many of us have benefitted from these connections, the resources are shared for informational and educational purposes and members of OMG are not liable for any damages resulting from the use of these resources.


Uncovered: A Breast Recognition Project is a resource that focuses on the breast cancer experiences of Black, Indigenous and People of Colour. Through powerful imagery and genuine storytelling, it shines a light on the physical and emotional scars of breast cancer, cultural barriers and health equity. Uncovered was created in collaboration with Michelle Audoin and developed in response to the significant underrepresentation of, and lack of support for, BI&POC in the breast cancer community. Through the amplification of this collection of stories and experiences, our hope is to help educate all people, including healthcare providers, on the realities and needs of Black, Indigenous and People of Colour with breast cancer, so they are better equipped to support all the people they care for.

Uncovered 2021: This year, we are honoured to launch an expanded version of the Uncovered resource that highlights the realities of BI&POC with breast cancer in navigating the Canadian healthcare system. These stories are told through the lenses and experiences of 8 people from diverse backgrounds, including Jamaican, Nigerian, Guyanese, Trinidadian, Bajan, Inuk, Indian and Filipino voices. Learn more and read their stories in the new resource here: rethinkbreastcancer.com/uncovered/ 




We love to support each other in our efforts and endeavours. Sometimes an entrepreneurial spirit is ignited post cancer diagnosis; other times, it has always lived there, and we returned to our interests when it was right.
