Movember and Men's Health


MOVEMBER AND MEN'S HEALTH

Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men's health, and this Movember I'm joining them. Together we can make a difference in men's health – in prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. Help me stop men dying too young.

Prostate Cancer Statistics and Facts for Men

Prostate Cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American men. Black men in particular experience the highest rates of prostate cancer. To fight this disease, it’s important to educate ourselves and others about common risk factors, symptoms, and prevention strategies.

The Truth About Depression in Black Men

Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the chance to meet several Houston artists who are doing some amazing things. It’s encouraging to see so much creativity thriving across our city, especially from independent artists who continue to make music and create their own opportunities. But great music needs listeners. If you discover a Houston artist you like, support them. Go to their shows. Stream their music. Follow them on social media. Share a song with a friend. Those small actions can make a...

Newsletter Sponsored by Perfumania What Dolly Parton Meant to Us Dolly Parton understood the absurdity of being Dolly Parton. She once entered a Dolly Parton look-alike contest and lost. I love that she was always in on the joke. That was part of her genius. But it isn’t why I’m writing about her. What strikes me is how completely Black people claimed her.
