Like many Black women, actress Tia Mowry has lost people she loves to cancer. Last year, she had her own breast cancer scare when doctors found an abnormality during a routine mammogram.

Black people are more likely to die from breast and prostate cancer than any other racial group, according to 2025 findings by the American Cancer Society.

These mortality disparities, paired with personal experiences, have inspired Mowry to host a new video series called “Rewrite the Recipe,” which launched Nov. 24. In the episodes, the actress, who calls food her love language, joins cancer survivors and advocates in the kitchen to talk through family recipes and their experiences with breast and prostate cancer.

Mowry’s goal, she says, is to encourage Black families to treat good food and good company at the dinner table as an opportunity to be vulnerable about their family history with cancer.

The Trump administration has declared that nursing is not a professional degree, striking directly at the heart of America’s health care workforce and landing hardest on Black women, who make up nearly 13% of the national health care labor force and almost 10% of registered nurses.

The administration frames the move as a technical adjustment to loan classifications. For Black women and the communities that rely on them, the consequences are far more severe.

“This is a gut punch for nursing,” Patricia Pittman of George Washington University stated. “Education from ADN to BSN and beyond is the single best way to retain nurses, especially in underserved communities.”

A true beauty mark is with you from birth, but, as we age, we can develop marks and spots on our body that can mean anything or nothing. There is an old wives’ tale that suggests that raised moles are the ones to worry about.

Well, according to New York-based dermatologist Neal Schultz, this is just that, a tale. ”It’s usually the flat moles that get into trouble. Raised moles are intradermal moles, or compound moles, and they have a much lower rate of malignant degeneration. Flat moles are where most of the cases of melanoma come from,” he said.

If you want to double check your moles for signs of a cancerous mole, check out the Triangle Tribune article: https://www.triangletribune.com/news/2025/12/02/health/6-signs-your-mole-may-be-cancerous/

In Raleigh, NC, a meeting was called by a Wake County Board of Education member Toshiba Rice. The meeting was meant to gather feedback about moving forward with renovations for the historically Black school. Parents raised concerns about sending their students to a satellite location for learning.

“It’s hard to have confidence in what our city or county are doing when we always get shortchanged,” an attendee said. “You took the park from us; you took the school from us. We’ve always been told that we’re gonna get progress, but progress always comes with a cost to us.”
