Blue Faery: The Adrienne Wilson Liver Cancer Association will host a free online workshop, 'Love Your Liver,' on February 5, 2026, at 7 PM ET as part of Black History Month. The event targets liver cancer disparities among Black and African American communities, who face higher incidence, earlier onset, and greater mortality rates from primary liver cancer. The workshop aims to provide practical tools for prevention, early detection, and access to care.
The featured speaker, Dr. Rebecca Jones, Ph.D., Faculty Associate at the Institute for Health Promotion Research at UT Health San Antonio, will lead an interactive discussion. Participants will learn to recognize symptoms, understand risk factors, and navigate healthcare systems effectively. The program is designed for patients, caregivers, medical professionals, and community leaders.
Primary liver cancer is rising in the United States, with Black patients experiencing earlier onset, higher mortality, and delayed diagnosis. Blue Faery's initiative directly confronts these inequities by offering attendees strategies to advocate for screening, lifestyle changes, and medical support before symptoms escalate.
The 'Love Your Liver for Black History Month' workshop is free, but registration is required. Participants will receive free educational resources and can submit questions during the live session. For more details, visit the Love Your Liver page.
Blue Faery's mission is to prevent, treat, and cure primary liver cancer through research, education, and advocacy. The organization also hosts an online Liver Cancer Community for patients and caregivers and provides free patient education via its Patient Resource Guides for Liver Cancer. Other programs include HCC Lunch & Learn, The Truth About Liver Cancer, and You and Liver Cancer.
