Weโ€™re pausing our socials in July for Minority Mental Health Month.

Step outside, breathe deep, & ask: How can I step away to step more fully into myself?

Weโ€™ll see you in Augustโ€”rested, renewed, & ready. ๐Ÿ’™

At the CRC Equity Foundation, we love all buttsโ€”because CRC doesnโ€™t discriminate, and neither do we.

This #PrideMonth, we honor every identity and every body.

Health equity means everyone gets seen, screened, and supported.

Family secrets kill.

DNA may load the gun, but silence pulls the trigger.

At #MadeInNC, we broke the silence on CRC in Black communitiesโ€”because what we donโ€™t talk about keeps taking us.

We donโ€™t always talk about how food can be medicine, especially in Black families. This post is a reminder that healing starts at home โ€” with love, knowledge, & what we put on our plate. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฅฌ๐Ÿซ

Colorectal cancer is hitting us [Black men] harder, but we do not have to accept it as our fateโ€”when we know our family history, fuel our bodies, & get screened, we shift the odds & rewrite the narrative.

Black men face higher risk for #ColorectaCancer โ€” but knowledge is power.

Start screening early, eat well, move daily, manage health, & know your family history.

What you prepare in your kitchen can help lower your risk of colorectal cancer.

Stock up on berries, whole grains, nuts, beans, veggies & leafy greens.

Small choices today = a healthier tomorrow.

It takes all of us to make a real difference in #ColorectalCancer equity, especially in communities at greatest risk.

Letโ€™s ask: what are we willing to do to ensure every Black man can live free from fear of colorectal cancer? ๐Ÿ’™
