We’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?

We’ll see you in August—rested, renewed, & ready. 💙

At the CRC Equity Foundation, we love all butts—because CRC doesn’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 communities—because what we don’t talk about keeps taking us.

We don’t always talk about how food can be medicine, especially in Black families. This post is a reminder that healing starts at home — with love, knowledge, & what we put on our plate. 🙌🏾🥬🫐

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.

Colorectal cancer is hitting us [Black men] harder, but we do not have to accept it as our fate—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 — but knowledge is power.

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

Breaking cycles saves lives.

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

Let’s ask: what are we willing to do to ensure every Black man can live free from fear of colorectal cancer? 💙

Everyone knows pink = breast cancer awareness, but blue is for #ColorectalCancer—& too few know it.

Our founder Dr. Charles is lighting up cities in blue to change that. 💙
