Carmen Brown Marshall

Ambassador, advocate and author of the book, "Looking Well Beyond Breast Cancer", Carmen Brown Marshall leverages her background as a Scientist, her more than 15 years as a professional in Healthcare & Leadership and her more than 18 years surviving breast cancer, to help women thrive beyond a diagnosis and the moment they hear, ‘you have breast cancer’.

As the Chief Visionary and Founder of a non-profit established in the Washington, DC area in 2021, Marshall and her dedicated team of volunteers have made a profound impact. Their efforts have reached 8,729 women, completed 1,392 survivorship surveys, educated 42 medical professionals on the importance of incorporating the patient perspective, and organized 39 grassroots community educational events. Additionally, they are currently recording and preparing to share 14 survivor and thriver stories in celebration of the organization's fourth anniversary on August 3, 2025.

Marshall is also a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, a glam-mom, a friend and a colleague. As a speaker, she leverages life experiences to serve the underrepresented, underserved and underinsured communities, challenged with getting the proper care to navigate back to wholeness. When you hear her speak, you will laugh and smile…maybe shed a tear, even think differently when you hear phases such as ‘Think Pink’, ‘Breast Cancer Awareness’ or ‘Crucial Catch’.

Having knowledge of yourself and being able to direct yourself to a better life is an art. Marshall is amazingly entertaining and you’ll come away from engaging with her with tools and resources to meet the challenges of the day.
