Cancer Care Cards for Black Women
Cancer Care Cards for Black Women: Journaling cards for grounding, clarity and self-care.
A project within The Visibility Project
Cancer Care Cards for Black Women is a 42-card illustrated deck in progress, created to support and uplift Black women navigating life after a breast cancer diagnosis. Rooted in reflection, healing and care, each card offers visual and emotional companionship for the complex, often unseen realities of survivorship. This deck extends the mission of The Visibility Project, which centers the lives, bodies and experiences of Black female breast cancer survivors—voices too often left out of the visual narrative. As artwork is completed, they’ll be added below.

How to Purchase
Cancer Care Cards for Black Women are available in two ways:
Individually through my online store, where you can also purchase museum quality prints featuring the illustrations.
Monthly through my Patreon, where subscribers receive one new Cancer Care Card per month, complete with journaling prompts on the back.
If this work resonates with you, please consider sharing it or supporting its growth—every gesture helps this project reach more women who need to see themselves reflected in art.
