Lucia Bopoto

I’m a creative strategist, copywriter, patient advocate, and cancer lived experience expert using storytelling to shift people from passive awareness to purposeful action. My work centers on early detection strategies that actually land, especially in urban communities where health messages are heard, but rarely felt. Through my newly launched initiative,ORB Foundation, I advocate for dignified cancer care and fight for access to treatment and medication in underserved communities, a need that became personal through my own journey and mentorship of fellow patients. I believe in creativity with conscience, communication that cuts through, and care that shows up long before crisis does.

Early detection saved my dad’s life. Male breast cancer is hardly talked about, and he only took a lump seriously after researching it because a friend openly shared his own diagnosis. That taught me how powerful honest conversations and community awareness truly are. I'm equally passionate about access to medication because I've lost loved ones in the community due to limited access which fueled misinformation and harmful "alternatives."
