In a special *bonus episode*, On Topic, Off Script host, journalist Brian Mastroianni, chats with Emmy nominee Nina Parker .
Nina Parker wears many hats — journalist, TV host, fashion designer. You know her from everything from E! News to serving as the current host of Friday Night Vibes on TBS alongside Kevin Fredericks — but today, she joins On Topic, Off Script in her role as an advocate for health equity. This comes from a personal place. Following her mom Phyllis’s battle with breast cancer as well as her own experience navigating healthcare, Nina is using the bright spotlight of her platform as part of Uncovering TNBC , a campaign from Merck that raises awareness about triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). It’s a form of breast cancer that disproportionately affects Black women. In fact, TNBC has an incidence rate that is two-times higher in non-Hispanic Black women compared to non-Hispanic white women.
Brian sits down with Nina to discuss how we can better tackle the health disparities tied to TNBC, share resources for Black women about the risks of this aggressive form of breast cancer, how her family’s personal health journey spurred her own advocacy work, and why it’s important to take charge and be your own best health advocate.
