This is a Livestream of an interactive conversation bringing together the most pressing health issues facing both women and men—while centering the tools and confidence needed to advocate for your own care. From prenatal health to menopause, from prostate and testicular cancer to diabetes, and from sexual health to heart and elder care, the panel addresses the full spectrum of concerns across the lifespan.
Drawing on the real stories of front-line medical experts and community leaders, this session tackles both the science and the stigma, highlighting the disproportionate burdens Black communities face and offering practical strategies for prevention, early detection, and whole-person wellness. Above all, it’s about breaking silence, removing barriers, and ensuring that every person can access the care they want and need—body, mind, and spirit.
