Explore. Connect. Be heard. You don't have to navigate your prostate health alone.
Your Talk, Your Walk Handbook is the guide on prostate cancer screening and making informed decisions about your prostate health.
SCROLL DOWN
We work hard to provide for ourselves and those around us. Despite the many barriers we face, we always find a way to persevere.
What's one problem that threatens our progress? Prostate cancer (PC).
When it comes to PC, it's about "talking the talk and walking the walk," if we want Black men to be proactive about their prostate health.
Now's the time to Talk That Talk with our doctors about prostate cancer screening.
NOW'S THE TIME
Did you know that prostate cancer (PC) is the second-leading cause of cancer death for Black men? If we want to change the situation, it's important to have honest conversations and proactive prostate cancer screenings. And each of us has a part to play.
The reality is that prostate cancer is taking our fathers, brothers, uncles, and friends from us before their time.
We can make a difference now and for generations to come — if we Talk That Talk and stay on top of our prostate health.
The sooner we detect PC by screening, the better our chances to address it.

ABOUT
PROSTATE
The first step in screening for prostate cancer (PC) is a conversation with your doctor.
And the second step might not be as complicated as you think.
Your doctor might begin by recommending a simple blood test, called the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test. The test measures the amount of PSA in the blood, and the level of PSA helps to indicate the health of the prostate.
You might've heard about the other kinds of PC screenings, so we want to break down what to expect and details to look out for. With a conversation, we can start protecting our prostate health.
CANCER
Leader. Husband. Father. Brother. We have many titles. Let's add "Health Self-Advocate" to the list.
When we advocate for our prostate health, it's not just about us. It's about the people we love and care for most.
Having an active role in your health includes recognizing that you're not alone — there are people you can lean on.
Maybe you're a spouse, child, or friend. Whoever you are to them, helping a loved one navigate their prostate health journey can leave you feeling uncertain.
We know that our collective strength has the power to make real change. You can talk your talk best by sharing the weight instead of shouldering it for him.
That's why we created this space for care partners like you. We're stronger together.
