W hen B arriers B reak A variety of classes—from yoga and sexuali ty to acupuncture and nutrition—have been added to the services offered at the Arquette Cancer Center of Project Quest. The new Healing and Empowerment Pro gram for Women wath Breast Cancer was recently funded by a Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation grant. HEP creates a safe place for women of all economic means to learn practical skills for actually “living” with breast cancer. In addition to an ongoing mental and physical health clinic, HEP offers a broad array of groups and classes that focus on the unique needs of participants and provide a space for women to meet with others on a similar path to breast cancer treatment, recovery and survival. Leaders at HEP have personal experiences with the disease that have helped them identify the needs women have when faced with breast cancer. “When 1 was diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago, all of a sudden 1 was caught in a whirlwind of doctor’s appointments, treatment decisions and surgery schedules," said Jo Brody, manager of HEP. “Piecing together a wellness program for myself that included diet, exercise and counseling was overwhelming and difficult. Plus, there wasn’t a centralized place to go to meet with other women dealing with breast cancer in a holistic way. Now at Project Quest, we can provide all of these services.” Lesbians tend to experience significant bar riers to health care, according to a recent survey conducted bv Flams Interactive and the Maut- ner Project, a lesbian health advocacy organiza tion. Lesbians identified some factors keeping them from obtaining health care as discrimina tion, misinformation, exclusion, fear and nega tive past experiences. Mautner executive director Kathleen DeBold said: “Barriers to accessing health care, whether they are financial, institutional or cul tural, can be devastating for lesbians with chronic or life-threatening illnesses. Stigma and the potential for discrimination has, for years, been a major obstacle for lesbians and gays seek ing appropriate health care."

The Fxxik deals with real time issues of gender, race, class and other social concerns while keeping the reader captivated with down-to- earth humor and witty intelligence. “The so-called history we learn in schixil is no more than a brand,” says Muscio, “developed by white men who, often unjustly, won the right to spin their stories as hard facts.” With Autobiography, it’s Muscio’s turn to hip the masses to the truth about the U.S. history they think they know.
