I will tell you that when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, it was some it was during COVID and there were you know, it was during a routine screening that I pushed myself to go to, but I will tell you I met women who because they had lost their jobs during COVID or whatever else didn't get screened.

So I just wanna see where we can go because I I do have a part of my community that has a great need And also, I presume that you do it in culturally culturally appropriate ways.

So, you know, because there are a lot I will say there are there are women that are certain demographics that are afraid to go for screenings or they're not used to it or they take care of the rest the family and they don't, you know, if something bothers them, they don't bring it forth.
