Educational Medical Panel

The event will feature an impactful discussion including:

  • Two leading physicians
  • Two patient advocates (previvors, survivors, or thrivers)

Panelists will discuss body image, survivorship, advocacy, and the evolving needs of women navigating life after breast cancer.

About the Collaboration

Tracy Milgram, founder of BRCAStrong, has spent over 20 years advocating for previvors and survivors, turning her personal journey into a global mission of education, advocacy, and support.

In 2026, BRCAStrong is focusing on body image empowerment, making this collaboration especially meaningful.

Partnering with Lauren Yerkes, a breast cancer survivor and BRCA2+ carrier, brings powerful authenticity to the event.

Lauren’s nearly two-decade career in the fashion industry, including 16 years as Chief Merchandising Officer at REVOLVE, combined with her personal experience navigating cancer treatment and survivorship, inspired her to launch POST SWIM a swimwear brand designed with intention for post-cancer bodies.

POST SWIM pieces feature:

  • Thoughtful coverage
  • Flat-lay construction for comfort
  • Optional prosthesis support

Each design helps women feel confident, comfortable, and truly seen.

A Celebration of Strength

Beyond the Tide: Empowered & Unstoppable is more than a runway.

It is a celebration of resilience, confidence, and community, highlighting the strength and beauty of women who continue to rise, rebuild, and redefine life after breast cancer.

Together, we honor every previvor, survivor, and thriver and the powerful stories they carry.
