Here and Now 10/19/25: Helping Black women navigate breast cancer

Here and Now has more on the inspiring story behind a new theatrical approach helping Black women navigate a breast cancer diagnosis.

NEW YORK (WABC) — Coming up on Here and Now, the inspiring story behind a new theatrical approach helping Black women navigate a breast cancer diagnosis.

“You’re not alone sis.” That’s the message from the nonprofit Carrie’s TOUCH, as it focuses on helping Black women not just survive, but thrive after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the group is staging an immersive, new theatrical event, “Dinner with the Youngers.” The event addresses the unique experiences of Black women.

Joining us to discuss is the co-founder of Carrie’s TOUCH and a breast cancer survivor herself, Rev. Tammie Denyse.

Also on our program: “Crumbs From the Table of Joy” — the opening night production of the award-winning Crossroads Theatre’s 47th season.

Here and Now with Sandra Bookman airs Sundays at 12:00 p.m. on Channel 7, WABC-TV in New York City.
