Blue Faery: The Adrienne Wilson Liver Cancer Association announced the launch of a free online workshop, Love Your Liver, scheduled for February 5, 2026, at 7 PM ET, as part of Black History Month observances. The event aims to address the disproportionate impact of liver cancer on Black and African American communities by focusing on prevention, early detection, and access to care.
Primary liver cancer is rising steadily in the United States, and Black patients experience earlier onset, higher mortality, and delayed diagnosis compared to other groups. The Love Your Liver workshop confronts these inequities by providing attendees with practical tools to advocate for screening, lifestyle changes, and medical support before symptoms escalate.
The workshop will feature Dr. Rebecca Jones, Ph.D., Faculty Associate at the Institute for Health Promotion Research at UT Health San Antonio. Dr. Jones will lead an interactive discussion designed to help participants recognize symptoms, understand risk factors, and navigate healthcare systems with confidence. The program invites patients, caregivers, medical professionals, and community leaders to learn how liver cancer affects Black communities and what steps individuals can take to protect themselves and their families.
Participants will receive free educational resources and have the opportunity to submit questions during the live session. Registration is required for the free event, which runs from 7:00 to 8:00 PM ET. More information is available at Love Your Liver.
Blue Faery's mission is to prevent, treat, and cure primary liver cancer through research, education, and advocacy. The organization hosts an online Liver Cancer Community for patients and caregivers and provides free comprehensive patient education with its Patient Resource Guides for Liver Cancer. Blue Faery has many programs, including HCC Lunch & Learn, Love Your Liver, The Truth About Liver Cancer, and You and Liver Cancer.
