While September is officially Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, in some circles, June has become the unofficial month for men to honor their health, especially with Father's Day landing squarely during this timeframe.

September is officially Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.  This guide is designed for Black men seeking information on screening ages, resources, post-cancer care and the like.

Furthermore, this guide is also useful for loved ones, caretakers, doctors, family, friends and those who are yearning to have more insights about the silent disease and its impact with Black men.

Factoids: Black Men and Prostate Cancer

1 out of 5 Black men will be diagnosed with this silent disease during their lifetime. This disease affects Black men at a higher rate than other groups. 

If you're a Black man, annual screenings should begin at age 40. If there is a family history with the disease, annual screenings should begin at age 35. R. Frank Jones Urological Society

'Auto Trends' Revisits Tesla's Bumpy Racial History With Its Black Workforce (Two Shows)

In 2021, Tesla was winning the electric car race in terms of sales and record setting stock prices. Almost four years later, Tesla has been on a rollercoaster ride. While Tesla is still number one in the U.S. electric car market, both sales and stocks have tumbled. Some of the sales fallout is attributed to more electric vehicle competition in the market, while the lion's share of the luxury brand's ills have been driven by CEO's Elon Musk's new role as what many see as co-President of the United States of America.

According to the American Urological Association, approximately 1.8 percent of today's urologist are Black. Black men over index in terms of being diagnosed and dying of prostate cancer compared to other groups. 

In fact, one in five Black men will develop prostate cancer in his lifetime. Unfortunately unlike with other groups, Black men will be hard pressed to locate a urologist from their community to aid in treating this silent disease.  

As we wind down National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, Auto Trends with JeffCars.com, the longest running multicultural syndicated automotive program in North America, talks one-on-one for the first time with a urologist. Just like in the auto industry where it’s difficult to find a Black-owned new car dealership, it’s also the same in terms of locating a Black urologist.

Auto Trends with JeffCars.com, the only syndicated multicultural automotive program in North America, is kicking off its 8th radio season, focusing on a life changing disease that has personally impacted the host of the program, Jeff Fortson, an 11-year prostate cancer survivor.  

With September being Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, Kris Bennett, a former professional athlete, joins us for a one-on-one conversation. At an early age, Bennett, who is currently working on his third master's degree, knew his skills would go beyond being a star on the court. While his dreams of balling in the NBA were dashed, Bennett knew he could exert the same physical energy and mental astuteness he exuded on the courts overseas, galvanizing Black men around health, more specifically prostate cancer.
