In this informative video, patient advocate Mike Veny sits down with Tyrone Brewer, President of US Oncology for Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine division, to discuss the crucial issue of prostate cancer among men of color. Together, they delve into important topics such as the stigma surrounding prostate cancer among men of color, mental health implications for cancer patients, and the significance of health literacy among men of color.

Tyrone also shares his experience working with Shannon Sharpe, a well-known public figure who battled prostate cancer and kept his diagnosis private. Additionally, they stress the importance of regular prostate exams, which can greatly reduce the likelihood of prostate cancer becoming terminal. This conversation is especially relevant as Mike Veny and Tyrone Brewer participated in the 2024 Blue Jacket Fashion Show for Zero Prostate Cancer, sponsored by Johnson & Johnson. Don’t miss this eye-opening discussion about prostate cancer and overall health among men of color.

NOTE: Tyrone Brewer is walking the runway at the Blue Jacket Fashion Show, and Mike Veny was an attendee.

Mike Veny understands stigma well, especially the mental health stigma in the black community. He hopes that men who want to prevent prostate cancer watch this video and schedule a prostate exam.
