Mielle Organics Partners With Susan G. Komen To Expand Awareness

“Mielle is honored to continue its partnership with Susan G. Komen, supporting their health equity work to eliminate breast cancer disparities by ensuring that Black women have access to high-quality care and treatments,” said Mielle Chief Marketing Officer Jolorie Williams. “Through education, outreach programs, and the funding of representative research, we can remove barriers to care and achieve health equity for all women. Mielle is proud to support Komen in this important effort by co-branding our most gentle collection, Oats & Honey, which is targeted toward sensitive scalp consumers. Over two years, Mielle has donated $200,000 to the cause. Together, we can power progress and make a meaningful difference for people in Black and Brown communities.”

Through being female presents the biggest risk factor, Black women are about 40% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women. Latina women are more likely to be diagnosed later than white women. Komen is a trusted breast health partner, providing timely breast health information, support and resources to diverse populations.

Funds raised by this partnership will help Komen improve breast health disparities in Black and Latino communities by connecting them to personalized breast health resources and support, which helps break down barriers to high-quality breast care for these populations. The goal? To create a world without inequities where marginalized populations have the same chances of surviving breast cancer as anyone else.

“Mielle Organics is a leader in the natural hair and personal care industry, and we are thrilled to partner with them this year,” said Sarah Rosales, VP, corporate partnerships, at Susan G. Komen. “We value their commitment to creating high-quality, natural products, and we look forward to working with them to continue to reach Black and Latino communities. Komen is committed to closing the health equity gap, and partnerships like these help us reach and inform historically marginalized communities about the disease.”
