Our Editorial Policy

Last updated Feb. 13, 2024.

 

More Life Magazine is a community-curated platform 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, Latino and Asian communities.

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 communities of color 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.

Our content is originally developed by More Life Magazine and The Missing Pink Breast Cancer Alliance unless otherwise specified. Lived-experienced experts, health industry specialists and volunteer writers comprise our editorial team. We use AI content writers to transform interview transcripts into stories that are edited for accuracy by our editorial team.

Our content is guided by the following values:

  • Diversity

    • We embrace a wide range of voices, backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives in our content to reflect the diversity of our audience. This includes considering factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, age, ability, sexual orientation, cancer stage and more. We also seek diverse perspectives when making decisions about content, ensuring that a variety of voices are heard and valued.

  • Equity
