Thank you once again bluejacketfashionshow and zeroprostatecancer for the opportunity to walk in this year’s show 🙏🏾.
A few things I learned about prostate cancer through this experience:
About 1 in 6 Black men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, and we’re more than twice as likely to die from the disease as white men.
I also learned that because of our increased risk, Black men should start having conversations with their doctors about screening as early as 40–45. With me turning 40 next month, best believe I will be talking to my doc about this.
I’m grateful I got to be part of an event that not only brought awareness to an important cause, but also taught me something I’ll personally carry with me moving forward.
Fellas, take care of yourselves and have those conversations!
