Immediately Post intervention	The dimensions of health literacy adapted from the AHL-C tool are: 1. Numeracy (2 items); 2. Familiarity (9 items); 3. Comprehension (1 item); 4. Navigation (7 items).; To determine health literacy scores of participants, each item will be scored on a scale of 0 to 1. A higher score would mean a better outcome. Items will be summed for each of the four sub-scales as well as the entire scale (AHL-C) and then determine the mean and standard deviation.; Assessment will be completed immediately post intervention (after two sessions on breast and cervical cancer)
