How can storytelling and science come together to erase that disparity? We begin the day with the award-winning film ALBANY ROAD starring Lynn Whitfield in what critics have called “A delightful film that will warm your heart and touch your soul.” The screening will be followed by a discussion with actor Lynn Whitfield, filmmakers Michael and Christine Swanson, and Dr. Kim Rhoads, Professor of Surgery at Virginia Commonwealth University and co-founder of Umoja Health. The conversation will be moderated by Zhonnet Harper, Public Health Commissioner and Breast Cancer Navigator.
