Java with Jimmy Live at GBH: Breast Cancer Awareness Month

GBH News welcomes James “Jimmy” Hills, host of the Dorchester-based online show Java with Jimmy, to host a special “brew” of his show in front of a live audience at the GBH Studio in the Boston Public Library.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. "Java With Jimmy" will spend the hour in the GBH studio at the BPL raising awareness of this disease that touches lives everywhere.

Breast cancer doesn't discriminate. It knows no name, age, or background. It affects not only individuals but entire families and communities. Join Jimmy in the Newsfeed Cafe as he opens a dialogue about breast cancer's far-reaching impact and the collective strength that can be drawn from sharing our experiences.

We have the privilege of welcoming breast cancer survivors Tamisha Hills and Alyssa Nelson-Kamalu, who, along with her husband Chinedu, started the Ellie Fund to support people struggling with breast cancer. They will share their personal stories, triumphs, and the courage they found to face challenges along the way.

Our conversation goes beyond medical treatments and physical battles as we dive into the often-overlooked realm of mental health. Coping with a breast cancer diagnosis can take an immense toll on one's emotional and psychological well-being. We explore the importance of mental health support, coping strategies, and the tremendous strength found within communities.

Join us for inspiration, education, and empowerment as we honor those affected by breast cancer, salute the survivors, and learn how we can provide support.

Come visit us at the GBH studio at the Boston Public Library's Copley branch at 700 Boylston Street. Coming to see a broadcast is free and no RSVP is required.
