Our Editorial Policy
Last updated Feb. 13, 2024.
More Life Magazine is a community-curated publication presented by The Missing Pink Breast Cancer Alliance. We are dedicated to sharing information, inspiration and innovation regarding efforts to advance health equity in breast care, with an emphasis on the experiences of Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC).
Health equity is a state where everyone has a fair and equal opportunity to achieve their best possible health. Achieving health equity requires continuous societal efforts to:
- Address historical and contemporary injustices
- Overcome economic, social, and other barriers to health and healthcare
- Eliminate preventable health disparities
All of our content is centered on the experiences of BIPOC affected by breast cancer and aims to support them and the people who serve them. We work collaboratively to identify topics, experts and address barriers to accessing information.
