My overall aim in this video is to get more men, particularly black men to see their doctor for concerning symptoms of prostate cancer. My hope is that this is shared widely so people that need this vital information get it and this touches as many lives as possible.

We explore some of the deep and multifactorial factors that contribute to the delayed presentation of black men with this diagnosis.
