Blue Faery: The Adrienne Wilson Liver Cancer Association will host a free online workshop titled Love Your Liver for Black History Month on February 5 at 7 PM ET. The event focuses on liver cancer prevention, early detection, and access to care among Black and African American communities, who face disproportionate rates of disease and barriers to treatment. Primary liver cancer is rising steadily in the United States, with Black patients experiencing earlier onset, higher mortality, and delayed diagnosis compared to other groups.
The workshop will feature Dr. Rebecca Jones, Ph.D., Faculty Associate at the Institute for Health Promotion Research at UT Health San Antonio. Dr. Jones will lead an interactive discussion designed to help participants recognize symptoms, understand risk factors, and navigate healthcare systems with confidence. Love Your Liver for Black History Month confronts these inequities by giving attendees practical tools to advocate for screening, lifestyle changes, and medical support before symptoms escalate.
The program invites patients, caregivers, medical professionals, and community leaders to learn how liver cancer affects Black communities and what steps individuals can take to protect themselves and their families. Participants will also receive free educational resources and have the opportunity to submit questions during the live session. Registration is required for the free event, which aims to provide accessible education as part of Blue Faery's broader mission to prevent, treat, and cure primary liver cancer through research, education, and advocacy.
Blue Faery hosts an online Liver Cancer Community for patients and caregivers and provides free comprehensive patient education with its Patient Resource Guides for Liver Cancer. The organization runs several programs including HCC Lunch & Learn, Love Your Liver, The Truth About Liver Cancer, and You and Liver Cancer. This Black History Month initiative represents a targeted effort to address specific health disparities through community engagement and expert-led education.
