Breathe Free (Part 1): The Disparity at the Center of Asthma

Monday, September 14, 2026 • Duration 05:54

In this episode of The Black Doctor Speaks Podcast, host Dr. Michael LeNoir kicks off a three-part series titled Breathe Free, sponsored by AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals in partnership with the African American Wellness Project.

Statistics & Disparities: Black children are more than twice as likely to have asthma compared to white children, five times as likely to be admitted to the emergency room for an attack, and face significantly higher mortality rates.
Environmental & Structural Triggers: How housing conditions (mold, pests, poor ventilation), redlined neighborhoods, highways, and industrial sites contribute to asthma risks.
Healthcare & Access Obstacles: Issues related to specialist copays, transportation barriers, insurance delays, and building trust in clinical settings.
Actionable Solutions: Steps for physicians to improve care, management strategies for families at home, and the importance of establishing school asthma action plans.

He Died at 40: The Colon Cancer Warning You Need to Hear

Wednesday, March 25, 2026 • Duration 26:35

Colon cancer is often called the cowardly cancer because it hides until it is often too late, but it does not have to be a death sentence. In this powerful episode of Black Doctors Speak, we dive deep into why early screening is the ultimate lifesaver for our community. Join Dr. Renee and guest Arkell Cox as they discuss the urgent need for awareness, advocacy, and action. 🩺

In this video, Arkell shares the moving story of her husband, Dave Diamond Cox, who was diagnosed with stage four colorectal cancer at just 40 years old. His legacy lives on through Arkell's tireless advocacy and the Dave Diamond Cox Colon Cancer Foundation. We cover everything from the importance of the updated 45 year old screening age to the reality of the colonoscopy procedure itself. 🌟

You will learn about the critical differences between at home screening kits and a full colonoscopy, why fiber is your best friend for gut health, and how to talk to your family about medical history. We also address the cultural stigmas that often prevent people, especially men, from getting the life saving care they need. This conversation is about taking control of your health and ensuring that no more lives are lost to a preventable disease. 🍎
