Black men are notorious for downplaying their health; they’re tough enough not to need a doctor, and they sure as heck don’t talk about that stuff with each other.

All that’s about to change.

When it comes to most types of cancer, Black people have the highest death rate and shortest survival of any ethnic group in the United States. I got wind of this fact AFTER being diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 2017, a treatable but incurable blood cancer that Black Americans are nearly twice as likely to be diagnosed and die from it. 

So, what’s shaking and taking our lives in such disproportionate numbers? Yeah, healthcare disparities like lack of access and insurance, historical injustices, and implicit bias are impacting us…. but we also suffer from limited health literacy (LHL) — and that’s something we can change through conversation…Starting now!

Tune in as we kick off this groundbreaking podcast series and get real about what it really means to prioritize health in the Black community.
