  • What Black Men Should Know About Prostate Cancer
    In 2020, it was estimated that more than 191,000 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer making it one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in men in the U.S. And while prevalent, evidence suggests the disease is more common, aggressive and deadly among Black men compared to other racial groups.
    On this episode, I am joined by St. Louis Surgeon and Urologist Dr. Arnold Bullock to share important information on what all men, especially Black men, can do to better understand why this population of men are disproportionately affected, in addition to sharing information around the prostate cancer screening process.
    Also joining this important discussion is Washington University-St. Louis Radiation Oncologist Dr. Lannis Hall, who provides information on prostate cancer risk factors, signs and symptoms and advice on how men and their loved ones can advocate for their health to ensure earlier diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

  • Remembering the Life of Larry King: Interview From the Archives
    Originally interviewed on June 6, 2016, I had the immense honor of speaking with Emmy and Peabody Award-winning host Larry King and his wife Shawn King.
    The couple shared healthy ways to spend downtime and stories of their worldwide travels. They also announced the launch of their Luxury Living Home collection, “Sleep Like A King,” currently available online on Amazon, Wayfair, Walmart, and other major home retailers nationwide.
    Larry King passed away on January 23, 2021 at the age of 87.
    My prayers and condolences to the King family during this time.

  • Why Black Americans Mistrust the COVID-19 Vaccine
    On this episode, I am joined by Dr. Patricia Whitley Williams, President of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID) to discuss the skepticism of the Covid-19 vaccine among the African-American community.
    Recent surveys show that in the US, Black adults are more worried about co-infection with COVID-19 and influenza (flu) than White and Hispanic adults. However, despite this concern, a large percentage of Black adults say they will not get a COVID-19 vaccine when eligible, and they are either unsure about getting or will not get a flu vaccine this season. This reflects a long history of mistrust of the healthcare system and misinformation around vaccination that healthcare professionals must address.
