Empowering Equity: Tigerlily Foundation’s Fight Against Breast Cancer Disparities
Tigerlily Foundation is committed to advancing public policy to further our mission to educate, advocate for, empower, and support young women before, during, and after breast cancer. We are striving to make our vision of ending disparities of age, stage, and color in our lifetime a reality through:

Tigerlily Foundation has a 16-year history in the policy landscape. Our goal has always been to advocate for impact by driving policy making to create equity for patients. Patient advocacy leadership has always been key—here within Tigerlily and in guiding public policy. We water the seeds of inspiration and innovation, and working with advocates, advocacy organizations and stakeholders, have created policies and legislation that have changed the lives of millions of people. We are excited to culminate these years of momentum into our Health Equity Advocacy and Leadership (HEAL) Policy Center for Excellence (COE).
Through Tigerlily’s HEAL Policy COE, we plan to further focus this work by educating, empowering, and lifting patient voices to ensure they are amplified, in order to achieve health equity and end disparities. The HEAL Policy COE will focus on systemic changes through policy at the local, state, and federal level to:
- End barriers to accessing and receiving quality, equitable care for all,
- Lead innovation through patient-leadership, and
- Achieve health equity and eliminate disparities in breast cancer.
Through the HEAL Policy COE, we seek to influence policy for these purposes through bi-directional learning, programs, and training to cultivate a center to exchange ideas, activate voices and create lasting change.

We also want to share an important reminder from our Founder and CEO, Maimah Karmo: You did nothing wrong. Cancer is not your fault—sometimes it happens without reason, and it’s not something you could have prevented. As we learn more, we do better. You have the power to become empowered, connect with a compassionate community, and grow in knowledge while joining the fight for advocacy
Cancer forced Michelle to reevaluate her purpose, igniting a fire within her to pursue her true potential. Even in the face of challenges, it is this sense of purpose that continues to guide her forward. #cancerwarrior #breastcancer #StrengthInAdversity #cancersurvivor
Feelings are a part of every human experience. Feelings have an evolutionary base to them and are to help us navigate a complicated world. Becoming mindful is a way to recognize and move through these feelings and can help you navigate the emotions that cancer brings to your life. ![]()
