Cystic Fibrosis in the African American Community

CF impacts people of every race and ethnicity, including African Americans, yet due to the misperception that the disease impacts only those of European descent, many individuals go years without a diagnosis. In this moving film, CF community members share their experiences, while Dr. Jennifer Taylor-Cousar updates us on the true diversity of our community.

CFRI’s Faces of CF Diversity and Inclusion Program is sponsored by Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Gilead Sciences, Chiesi USA, and Genentech.
