The 1 in 4 Black Men conversation!
On Saturday, I was honoured to be invited to raise awareness of prostate cancer at an event organised by Global Diabetes Initiatives, bringing together health, wellbeing, movement and tennis.
It was a real pleasure to meet so many like-minded people and connect with potential future colleagues and collaborators.
A special thank you to Dr Matilda Chongwa for the warm welcome and for inviting me to be part of such an inspiring day. I had the opportunity to speak with a diverse range of people about a statistic we simply cannot ignore: Black men have a 1 in 4 risk of developing prostate cancer in their lifetime.
For me, raising awareness isn't just about sharing a statistic. It's about starting conversations, encouraging men to know their risk, and making sure Black men feel informed, heard and supported.
The conversations are beginning and I’m looking forward to continuing them. 💙
