Translating survivor narrative data into effective prevention messages and strategies for African American women that can be disseminated widely within the community, shows that narrative discourse, or stories, as a mode of health literacy, can support culture-based health intervention efforts. Why is it important to culturally promote a health literacy intervention using narrative performance? Our goal is fourfold: (1) to highlight the lived experience of breast cancer survivors and caregivers in the African American community of Phoenix, AZ; (2) to educate audiences through narrative performance; (3) to raise awareness of breast cancer screening, diagnosis, education, and survivorship through sharing the story, and (4) to demonstrate how narrative performance can be a viable avenue for breast cancer health intervention. Using Community-based Participatory Research (CBPR) forged community-driven recruitment and selection of participants from Coalition of Blacks Against Breast Cancer (CBBC). Participatory collaboration with CBBC for structured interviews N = 6:3 survivors, 2 caregivers, 1 both survivor, and caregiver. Structured interviews were 2.5 hours per participant. Prompts were derived from survivor focus group and narrative theoretical framework. Interview data was coded and common themes emerged in interpretive analysis. Narrative data were translated into breast health and prevention messages that coded lived experience as personal data. Script was crafted based on narrative theory and shared decision-making efforts with community participants. Adaptation of the script became structured monologues for narrative performance, where the voice of survivors and caregivers of CBBC guided, transformed,and translated the development of the narrative intervention naming it, The Journey: Living Cancer Out Loud. Important themes emerged from interviews and served as a foundation for writing the script—Spiritual uplift; Family; Overcoming adversity; Hair stories; Share your story/community; and Taboo. The study concludes with next steps/best practices in the CBPR process with publically-held auditions of local actors, talk-back with audience at post performance, and pre-post test design to evaluate the efficacy of narrative performance.
