Compared with other racial/ethnic groups, Black American women diagnosed with breast cancer have the highest death rate and some aspects of their quality of life is lower. The authors developed Project SOAR (Speaking Our African American Realities) to shed light on the experiences of Black American women diagnosed with breast cancer. In one Project SOAR study, 37 women took part in Gatherings­small group meetings conducted in an all-Black, all-woman space­in which they talked about the relevance of the Strong Black Woman (or Black Superwoman) concept during breast cancer. Arising from a history of enslavement, the concept involves suppressing emotions, always acting strong, taking care of others while neglecting care of oneself, and declining others' support. Gathering participants ranged in age (30 to 94 years) and time elapsed since diagnosis (2 months to 29 years). Their breast cancer experiences often corresponded with the Strong Black Woman concept. For example, some medical professionals and others expected them to act strong, to keep caring for others, not to need support, and not to voice their emotions during the cancer experience. Some women redefined strength to include expressing emotions and accepting help. The authors are developing resources for Black American women breast cancer survivors.
