I'm Dr. Lori Pierce, the 2020-2021 president of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Thank you for tuning in for this discussion on social determinants of health and their impact on cancer care. The purpose of this video is to educate and inform. It is not a substitute for medical care and is not intended for use in the diagnosis or treatments of individual conditions. Guests on this video express their own opinions, experiences, and conclusions. These discussions should not be construed as an ASCO position or endorsement. For this series on the social determinants of health, we invite guests with a wide range of views and perspectives. Some of these conversations may be provocative and some even uncomfortable. But ASCO is committed to advancing equitable cancer care for all individuals, every patient, every day, everywhere. I dedicated this vision to my term as ASCO president, and these conversations bring many voices to the table, voices that we need to hear to move forward and find solutions. We hope you learned new ways of thinking about these issues and we invite you to join us in working toward a world in which every person with cancer, no matter where they live or what resources they have, receives high quality equitable cancer care. Thank you. JACQUELYNE GADDY: Welcome to the ASCO Social Determinants of Health Series. I am Dr. Jacquelyne Gaddy, and I'm a current third year fellow in the Division of Oncology at UNC Chapel Hill. With me today is Dr. Marvella Ford, endowed chair of cancer disparities from the Medical University of South Carolina and South Carolina State University, and I also have the pleasure of having Dr. Jennifer Ligibel, director of the Zakim Center for Integrative Therapies and Healthy Living at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. In this episode, we will be discussing obesity and energy balance as modifiable risk factors, and how clinicians can respectfully engage with their patients on these topics. Dr. Ligibel, we've had some time talking together. And I want to start by actually just getting an introduction of how we can actually relate cancer and the outcomes of cancer with this topic today of obesity. JENNIFER LIGIBEL: Sure. This is definitely a topic that we've learned a lot about, especially within the last few decades. We recognize that obesity is an epidemic, not just in the United States, but everywhere. In the US, many adult populations across various states have a prevalence of 40% or more of the adult population having obesity. And this rate is rising around the world. And we've known for a long time that obesity increases the risk of a lot of diseases, heart disease, diabetes. The connection between obesity and cancer is something that we have recognized more recently. And in fact, in 2016, the International Agency for Research in Cancer reviewed all of the data looking at the relationship between excess adiposity, whether it was measured through BMI, through body composition and the risk of developing cancer, and found that there were 13 different cancers for which there was a clear and consistent relationship between higher levels of obesity and higher levels of cancer. We also know that there's a relationship between a number of factors that contribute to excess adiposity, things like inactivity and poor dietary quality and excess cancer risk. We also know that individuals with obesity face increased challenges after cancer diagnosis. There are higher incidences of things like surgical complications, neuropathy, and other side effects of cancer therapies. And for many diseases, individuals with obesity at the time of cancer diagnosis have an increased risk of cancer recurrence and mortality as compared to leaner individuals. So we know that there is a strong relationship between obesity and the risk of developing cancer and the risk of dying from cancer, as well as suffering increased toxicity from cancer treatment. JACQUELYNE GADDY: Thank you for that, Dr. Ligibel. That gives us a really introduction into this important topic. And Dr. Ford, if we can dive a little bit deeper, I know this past summer for our ASCO conference, I had the pleasure of listening to you as you presented. And I wanted to specifically ask you to address what you discussed in regards to inflammation and its relation to cancer and obesity. MARVELLA FORD: Yes, absolutely. So as Dr. Ligibel just noted, there is an association between being overweight and likelihood of being diagnosed with cancer, and also, the cancer treatment outcomes. What we have seen is that there's an underlying association between bile inflammation. The same bile inflammation that is linked to heart disease is also linked to cancer. And the good news is that there's something that we can do about it. So when we talk about the modifiable behavioral health risks, this is one of them. What we're seeing is that physical activity can actually reduce levels of bile inflammation in the body, which is great news. And Dr. Ligibel and others around the country are leading the way in developing physical activity interventions for people who are diagnosed with cancer so that we can intervene early on to develop strategies to improve their cancer treatment outcomes. You know, that leads us to the broader question of physical activity for the general population. How can we increase physical activity for everyone to reduce cancer risk? And I think there are some very attainable goals that we can set and there are some strategies that are achievable that we can accomplish in that arena. JACQUELYNE GADDY: As we think about the social determinants of health and why we got started with this, and Dr. Pierce did an amazing job of putting that at the forefront of ASCO's goals this past year during her presidency, before we dive even deeper, Dr. Ford, I want you to address specifically, you had a wonderful figure. And I can kind of see it in my mind right now in regards to the race maps when addressing obesity, and again, tying that back into its relation to cancer. MARVELLA FORD: So when we talk about obesity, what we don't want to do is get into a blaming-the-victim kind of approach where, oh, these people are just so overweight, that is exactly what we do not want to do. It's really important to look at the social determinants of health and the contributors to overweight and obesity. Because people are working with what they have available to them. And so the map that you're talking about really highlights the social determinants of health in relation to obesity. And so what we saw-- I showed a series of maps-- is that obesity in the US, it's associated with race but it appears to be driven by socioeconomic position. So areas that have lower levels of income, education, you know, upward mobility is what we used to call it, have higher rates of obesity. And a lot of that is due to what's in those communities. And so if you drive around those communities, whether they're rural or urban, you see a lot of fast food places. You see a lot of food deserts. Food deserts are not just a purview of inner cities, urban areas, rural areas where you would think, well, that's ironic because food is grown in the rural areas. But rural areas can also be food deserts. And so in my work at the Hollings Cancer Center, we're focusing a lot on the I-95 corridor of South Carolina, which ranges from North Carolina at the top, to Georgia at the lower end. And I know that's been an area of interest to many in our state. And what we have seen is that it's one of the poorest and most medically underserved areas of our state. And if you just do a visual exam, if you drive on the I-95 corridor and just get off on some of the side roads, you see just a dearth of healthy foods, grocery stores. There are convenience stores. There are gas stations. I call it gas station food, convenience foods, where you can eat to fill up. But it's not really healthy food and it's not life-affirming, life-promoting, life-enhancing food. And so this is what people have available to them. We have seen this with the impact of COVID-19 on the school systems. What we're seeing is that the schools, even if they're closed due to COVID, they still have to remain engaged in food distribution. Because for a lot of the children, the meals that they had at school may have been the only meals that they had that day. And so kudos to the school systems around the country for continuing to distribute healthy food to the children even when school is not physically in session, even when they're in a hybrid model or a virtual model. And on the weekends, they're sending kids home with backpacks full of healthy foods. I just spoke with a principal on Friday. One student tested positive at a local high school, and so she had to inform the other students who were in contact with that student that they had to get sent home. And one young lady was crying and said, but I want to stay in school. And there are a lot of reasons, and one of them is food security, being able to eat healthy foods and having access to healthy foods. Healthy foods can help to reduce inflammation in the body. But we also know that there are stressors that are associated with the social determinants of health that also raise levels of bile inflammation, stress, stressors. What are the stressors associated with the social determinants of health? The same stressors that we're experiencing in this pandemic. The pandemic is really highlighting the stressors that many people in the US have lived with on a daily basis for decades. Job insecurity, food insecurity, housing insecurity, educational insecurity, not knowing whether if the rent increases by $30 in one month, it may not seem like a lot, but if your budget is already stretched really tight, you may not be able to make a $30 increase. And then, if you and your family are living in your car, how does that impact healthy eating, and how does that impact stress? And so all of these factors combined, there's kind of an interactive multiplicative effect on increasing levels of stress and stressors that people are facing. And again, the good news is that physical activity can help to lower those levels of bile inflammation. And I think we just need to be cognizant of where people are when we develop interventions and start with where they are in what's available and accessible to them in order for the interventions to really be successful. JACQUELYNE GADDY: Thank you for that, Dr. Ford. And I think you touched on a lot of different barriers that I know I can attest as a fellow and been in training for so long, and I know Dr. Ligibel can also likely attest to that as well. I'm from Buffalo, New York, a rather urban environment. And you know, my mom raised me as a single parent mother. So many of these barriers that you're describing I either experience personally or definitely have close friends, et cetera, that did have these barriers. Dr. Ligibel, I want to ask you in your day-to-day practicing, outside of the barriers that Dr. Ford addressed, what do you tend to see on a day-to-day basis that are common barriers that patients face when they're battling obesity? JENNIFER LIGIBEL: I think that's a great question. And I will say that one of the things that we've been doing through ASCO for the last few years through our work in the obesity initiative is trying to learn a bit more about what's happening in practice. What are patients hearing? What are doctors saying? And so in 2019, we conducted a survey that went out to all of ASCO membership asking anyone who actively participates in clinic, whether they were a physician, a nurse practitioner, a chemotherapy nurse, kind of all through the entire health team, do you talk to your patients about physical activity, about nutrition, about their body weight and how that may be connected to cancer? Now this was a survey, so the people that responded were very interested in this topic. And most of them indicated that they did talk about these topics with their patients. But they noted that they felt like they didn't have a lot of training in what's the best way to bring up these topics. And we asked them specifically, what do you think are barriers to patients making healthy lifestyle changes after cancer diagnosis? And one of the things that they said, certainly, barriers in terms of transportation and resources. There's just-- many places don't have physical activity programs to send their patients to. But they also talked about that patients weren't aware that this was an important part of their health, and that this really needed to be a message that was echoed many times, not just by one provider. So we followed up that survey to providers and asked patients, what are you hearing about nutrition and exercise from your cancer care providers? And not surprisingly, because this was patients that were also interested in this, they all said they wanted to hear about this. And only about half of them actually got any kind of information about a healthy diet or exercise or weight management from their providers. And so I think that there's clearly work that we still need to be doing, trying to figure out, how do you help providers talk about these things with their patients? How do you help patients make these types of healthy lifestyle choices after cancer diagnosis? Because there are a lot more barriers than for someone who's thinking about making changes in their activity before cancer diagnosis related to their cancer. They may be more tired. They may have side effects like neuropathy or lymphedema. In addition to all the things that Dr. Ford talked about, cancer creates a lot of economic uncertainty for people. And that can contribute to not thinking that you've got the resources to be able to make these healthy lifestyle changes. So I think there's a lot of work to be done both in the messaging and then having the services available to people to make it easier for people to choose healthier foods, to have the ability to exercise in a safe place. We have a long way to go to really make these things be accessible to our patients. JACQUELYNE GADDY: Thank you, Dr. Ligibel. Dr. Ford, you have talked about this during this conversation. And you have previously mentioned this as far as your research is concerned. As we consider the solution, because that's the biggest part, right? We can talk about the problem all day, and I think we tend to do that a lot in research. But what is more important and most important in my eyes are what are we going to do about it? As we think about all of the things that Dr. Ligibel just mentioned, what are the parts from a structural racism standpoint that are lacking, that you think A, is a problem-- so we need to identify it-- and then also, as we transition into the last part of this conversation is, what are we going to do about it? MARVELLA FORD: That's a really great question, because that's really the ultimate question, right? What are we going to do about it? And so I think that you and Dr. Ligibel have alluded to the fact that we want to make sure that the interventions are successful, these physical activity interventions. And so that means starting with where the patients are. If we are working with a patient population that already was struggling financially before a cancer diagnosis, we have to recognize the impact of that on their lives of the cancer diagnosis, on their economic stability after. And even people who had really great jobs before a cancer diagnosis, depending on where they worked, they may or may not have the benefits that would continue to sustain them over time, over the course of the cancer treatment. So their lives may take a drastic shift as well. And so I think that what we want to do is recognize what the patients are going through on a daily basis. And it would be wonderful to be able to offer at our cancer centers, people come for treatment. Can we do physical activity at the cancer centers? I know some are starting to do different types of exercise. But this would be something that they could bring their children to, they could bring their families so they wouldn't have to worry about child care. I know our cancer center at one point offered Middle Eastern dancing, or belly dancing. And it was just great. People could bring their kids. I participated. Even before my own breast cancer diagnosis, I participated. And it really helped the women to regain mobility and use of their arms, being able to raise their arms over their heads after a breast cancer treatment. And so it really-- I think the exercise could be tailored to the needs of cancer patients as they recover. And as they continue to go through treatment and recover, you can tailor the specific types of exercise to their needs. Most of our cancer centers have some type of wellness facility. And so I know that at our wellness center, we have a physician, Dr. Jennifer Harper, who started a physical activity program for breast cancer survivors. And it's gone on for, I think, at least five years. And so it's really great if we can build on the resources that we have in our centers, and our cancer centers, out in the community. If we partner with local schools, have gyms. A lot of them open up after hours to the community members so they can bring their children and everyone can exercise together. But we could bring in people with training with cancer survivors to work on physical activities that are specific to certain types of cancer to help improve outcomes for those cancer types just by partnering with local schools. So I think there are a lot of things that we could do, making use of existing resources in our communities, doing a lot of partnerships, partnering with fire departments, partnering with people in the community who can become champions and can help drive it. JACQUELYNE GADDY: Thank you for that, Dr. Ford. And lastly, Dr. Ligibel, we talk about-- in the Black community, a common thing that we mention is the Brown tax. But then when we consider the intersectionality of the Brown tax with those that are obese and that stigma that's associated with it. Lastly, what do we do to try to address that stigma? Because I think patients come in, they're already fearful about their diagnosis. And then some are fearful because the color of their skin. And now they're obese as well. How do we tackle that as providers and trainees? JENNIFER LIGIBEL: That is a phenomenal question. And there are many data that show that people with obesity are less likely to seek medical care. They're diagnosed with cancers at a later stage. And a lot of that is due to that feeling of, I don't really want to engage with the system. I don't feel good when people are talking to me about my weight. And I think this is a place where we really need some concentrated training. There are many subspecialties where this is already being worked upon. And I think that this is, again, something that as an oncology community, we need to think about how to treat our patients with respect and create an environment where people feel comfortable. Because therapeutic partnership with your cancer provider is so important, that people have that sense of being cared for. And I think this is really something that we can work on together. JACQUELYNE GADDY: Dr. Ligibel and Dr. Ford, it's been a pleasure working with you before this and during this. I want to thank you both for taking time to speak with me today.

Stay Nimble coaches Jennifer Harper and Caroline Jones explore the many and varied job roles that fall under the Digital Marketing umbrella, and highlight the useful skills to promote.

Jennifer Harper is the founder of Cheekbone Beauty, a cosmetics company committed to sustainability and making a difference in the lives of Indigenous youth. In this episode we also hear about Jenn's experience with addiction, struggling with her identity and losing her brother to suicide. Jenn shares the hard parts of her life openly and honestly. As she says: “I firmly believe that the moment we speak to anything that’s causing us shame internally, that shame begins to die a little bit because we’re becoming really vulnerable.”This episode will leave you feeling inspired and hopefully like me, you'll also learn more about Indigenous culture and values. 

In late March, the Biden administration announced that it was investing $10 billion to ramp up COVID-19 screening testing to help schools reopen. The expansion of screening tests in schools follows a February report from Mathematica that drew lessons from the experiences of six pilot sites that implemented COVID-19 testing in schools. These pilot programs—in Central Falls, Rhode Island; Los Angeles, California; Tulsa, Oklahoma; New Orleans, Louisiana; Louisville, Kentucky; and Washington, DC—were conducted with support from the Rockefeller Foundation, the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy, and Johns Hopkins University. The report provided insights about the acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness of adding a testing program to schools’ existing COVID-19 related plans. For this episode of On the Evidence, guests Jennifer Harper, Sarah Hanck, and Divya Vohra discuss findings from the Mathematica report, impacts of the report so far, more recent lessons based on Tulsa’s experience implementing testing, and what leaders in schools and communities across the country need to know about using antigen testing as a screening tool. Harper is the project manager for COVID antigen testing in schools in Tulsa. Hanck is a senior advisor at the Rockefeller Foundation for strategy and impact who has provided guidance and support to Mathematica as it gathered evidence about antigen testing in the six pilot sites. Vohra is a senior researcher at Mathematica who coauthored the report on the pilots.

The T-word is out this week! TRAUMA... We've all got it. And although it's sometimes hard to talk about, it's important to acknowledge it. I'd never heard of Jennifer Harper before, but this wonderful human is helping kids and adults unpack this thing we call trauma. And she is getting us a bit more in tune with what's going on inside of ourselves. This is one of those episodes where I sat back and took notes the entire time!

Tune is as Jennifer Harper shares her emotional story of what motivated her to start a cosmetic company rooted in her Anishinaabe heritage. This week's episode features Jennifer Harper, founder of Cheekbone Beauty and recipient of the Founders Fund Legacy Fund. Cheekbone Beauty, is an Indigenous-owned and founded, direct to consumer Canadian cosmetics company established in 2016. They are known for creating high quality and cruelty-free beauty products. Keeping in line with her Anishinaabe roots, Cheekbone Beauty launched a less-waste line of lipsticks in 2020, called SUSTAIN, with zero-waste goals for 2023. Cheekbone's aim is to not only make a difference in the lives of Indigenous youth through donations addressing the educational funding gap, but to also create a space in the beauty industry where Indigenous youth feel represented and seen.

On Black Friday, ditch the guilt and secure your stocking stuffers with an episode that honors the environment and Indigenous peoples. As anyone knows, makeup is a deeply personal endeavor. How we see ourselves, matters. The story of where our makeup comes from should matter too. Big makeup companies try to engineer representation and empowerment, using glitzy television ads with trendy pop songs and social media campaigns with catchy slogans. But consumers know authenticity when they see it. Cheekbone Beauty is an Indigenous-owned and founded, digitally native, Canadian cosmetics company established in 2016 by Jennifer Harper. Cheekbone Beauty creates high quality, cruelty-free beauty products such as liquid lipsticks and complexion products including contour and highlight palettes. More importantly, Cheekbone Beauty helps Indigenous youth feel represented and seen in the beauty community. Jenn's story, however, is about so much more than makeup. I connected with Jenn's story on a personal level. I can relate to Jenn's struggle with her Native roots as well as coming to terms with the generational trauma caused by having a relative go through the Indian residential school system. How we see ourselves reflected in society matters. Growing up, all I wanted was someone like Jenn, who could relate to what I was feeling, could show me that it was OK to be myself, and could be a role model for success as a professional. Jenn's connection to her Native identity is the driving force behind her commitment to making a sustainable product in an industry that is notoriously unsustainable. — Jessica Miles

By listener request, we are talking today about being content in singleness and all the things. Whether you're waiting on a husband, a baby, that dream job or just waiting to burn these crazy masks, there's something for you in this episode. My friend of 24+ years joined me today to talk about how she walked through her long season of singleness, what she learned, what she felt, reaching her breaking point and how God brought her through. We talk about not compromising, not settling, and how to be content without losing hope. You'll want to listen this one a couple times for sure.Jennifer's Scripture - Colossians 2:7 (Rick Renner Commentary) If your roots are securely fixed in Jesus Christ, you will outlast every season, every foul climate, and every storm. When the storm clouds pass, you will enter the finest fruit-producing season of your life, your ministry, your family, or your business.Toni's Scripture - Psalm 17:15 (ampc) - As for me, I will continue beholding Your face in righteousness (rightness, justice, and right standing with You); I shall be fully satisfied, when I awake [to find myself] beholding Your form [and having sweet communion with You].

Jennifer Harper has been making a name for herself in the beauty industry for a number of years but has been gaining popularity quickly after being on the hit CBC show, Dragons Den. Cheekbone Beauty is helping Indigenous youth see themselves in a beauty brand.Having founded Cheekbone Beauty four and a half years ago, she has tirelessly worked a full-time high- level sales job in Toronto, Ontario while living in Niagara . It was important to her to raise her children with her husband in the place she grew up. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Jenn Harper, founder of Cheekbone Beauty, was born in Thunder Bay, Ontario and relocated to the Niagara Region where she was raised and developed a passion for cosmetics. Over the past ten years, Jenn has had successful career in sales and marketing with two large international corporations. During her first week of training session with one of these companies a questionnaire asked: "What is your dream job?" Jenn wrote "To be the CEO of a major cosmetic brand." At the time, there was no indication that Jenn would eventually set out to build Cheekbone Beauty. During the development of Cheekbone Beauty, Jenn researched the industry as well as charities that are helping close the educational funding gap that exists between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students. Jenn found the First Nations Child & Family Caring Society (FNCFCS) and Cheekbone Beauty continues to support the FNCFCS today. During Cheekbone’s infancy, Jenn also suffered a heavy personal loss with the suicide of her brother B.J. This loss, though difficult, has remained a driving force behind Jenn’s desire to see Cheekbone Beauty succeed with its mission. In addition to Cheekbone’s mission, Jenn strives to educate as many Canadians as possible about the Residential School System and the effects it has had on her family and friends through decades of generational trauma. Jenn speaks regularly to university, college and high school students about social entrepreneurship, empathy and the history of her First Nations family. Jenn has also been invited to speak to various entrepreneur groups, women in business associations, Apple Canada and First Nations organizations. Jenn had been featured in media outlets such as Flare.com, APTN News, CBC Radio Unreserved, The Kit and Global’s News Radio. In 2017 Jenn Harper was awarded the "Social Enterprise Award" at the 17th Annual Women in Business Awards by the Women in Niagara (WIN) Council and the Greater Niagara Chamber of Commerce (GNCC) for her work on Cheekbone Beauty.

In this episode of Wine and Dime, I will be chatting with Jennifer Harper and Laura Coleman from Common Cents Financial Literacy, Inc.   “Common Cents is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has been providing practical financial education since 2005. They typically focus on students aged 16-22, a critical time for developing positive financial habits. Being able to successfully manage personal finances is a critical skill that affects everyone, regardless of income. Unfortunately, it is rarely taught in an applicable way. They don’t teach the old ‘if you save x per month at y% for 40 years, you’ll be a millionaire’ kind of classes. While all of that is true, they do our best to make it real.”   You can find Common Cents on the web at http://www.ccfli.org/ (http://www.ccfli.org/) The Wines:  Blueberry Cider - From Apple Valley Orchards http://www.applevalleyorchard.com/ (http://www.applevalleyorchard.com/) Zen of Zin - Zen of Zin was designed with one goal in mind: to capture the non-traditional Zinfandel consumer. For this consumer group, the “Way to Zinlightenment” is a blend specially crafted to be softer and sweeter than traditional Zinfandels in the Constellation Brands portfolio. Zen of Zin also offers a more lifestyle-driven approach to Zinfandel, encouraging wine drinkers to pour often, experiment freely, seek beauty, breathe deeply, and share wisdom.
