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

Black men, in particular, have a hard time discussing or dealing with depression. Cultural norms within the Black community have made it difficult for men to openly admit they have a problem. I first experienced how depression affects men when I was in college and watched my friend deal with it.

Maxwell Delivers a Soulful Masterclass Maxwell’s music has been the soundtrack to my life since he dropped his debut album, Urban Hang Suite. Even after all these years, that record still holds a top spot in my collection and remains a cornerstone of the neo-soul movement.

The Man Nobody Killed At first, I didn’t want to read this book. It’s another story of a young Black man brutalized by police, denied justice, and forgotten by a system that never intended to protect him.
