Breast Cancer Awareness: The Story of Mahlet Girma

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women around the world, and the number of cases is increasing in Ethiopia. Ethiopian-born Mahlet Girma of California, who came from a family of cancer survivors, chose to share her breast cancer-battling experience through video blogs. Africa 54 host Esther Githui-Ewart spoke to VOA reporter Eden Geremew Bekele, who won a Gracie Award for her television piece on Girma.
