What is Black Tears Inc.?
Our Vision
We envision a future where no Black man faces prostate cancer alone, where health disparities are eliminated, and where every brother has the knowledge, support, and access needed to live a long, healthy life. We see communities where men openly discuss their health, seek preventive care without stigma, and stand together to ensure that prostate cancer is detected early and treated effectively.
Our Mission
Black Tears Inc. empowers Black men to take control of their health by providing education, support, and resources for prostate cancer awareness and prevention. Through community-driven initiatives, authentic dialogue, and brotherhood, we break the silence surrounding men's health issues and create pathways to early detection, treatment, and survival.
What We Do
At Black Tears, we are committed to raising prostate cancer awareness in low-income and under-served communities, with a focused mission to uplift and protect the health of Black men worldwide. Through education, outreach, and empowerment, we aim to break the silence surrounding prostate cancer, promoting early detection, preventative care, and total wellness in the Black community.
Our vision extends beyond awareness — we strive to influence legislation and reform health policies that disproportionately impact Black men, transforming pain into power and advocacy into action. We believe that healing starts with truth, justice, and community — and we will not rest until Black wellness is prioritized, protected, and uplifted everywhere.
Mentoring
Black Tears provides mentorship programs for young African American men, guiding them through the challenges they may face in life — from systemic barriers and peer pressure to personal struggles and decision-making. Our mentors offer real-world insight, encouragement, and support to help these young men build resilience, self-respect, and purpose.
We also emphasize the importance of health and wellness, teaching participants to take their physical and mental health seriously from a young age. Through open dialogue, positive role models, and community engagement, Black Tears empowers the next generation to rise above their circumstances and pursue brighter futures.
Community Outreach
Black Tears is deeply committed to grassroots community outreach, bringing vital conversations about prostate cancer, mental health, and physical wellness directly to the people. Our team regularly visits schools, barbershops, churches, and community events to educate and engage residents in meaningful dialogue about health, prevention, and early detection.
By meeting people where they are, we break down stigma, raise awareness, and encourage healthier lifestyles in underserved communities. Through honest conversations and trusted presence, Black Tears helps build a stronger, more informed, and health-conscious community.
