Black men's kidney health: breaking the silence

As we mark Black History Month, Dee is joined by DJ Ace to speak about Black men's kidney health, breaking the silence around illness, and the importance of being heard. Ace reflects on his experiences of kidney failure, dialysis and kidney transplantation, while exploring the pressures Black men can face when it comes to speaking openly about their physical and emotional health. The conversation also highlights the importance of kidney health awareness, the connection between diabetes and kidney disease, health inequalities, and the need for healthcare services to engage meaningfully with Black communities.
