Longtime Global Prostate Cancer Advocate Kevin Byrd named Super Nova in Groundbreaking Interview

Kevin Byrd’s long, lengthy, and esteemed career as "the world’s foremost Prostate Cancer Awareness Advocate" begin at the tender age of 24.  It all begin as a result of his grandfather being diagnosed with prostate cancer.

It is still very unusual for a young man to take up the work that Mr. Byrd has embarked upon during his twenties.  Let’s take a glimpse into the extraordinary work Kevin Byrd has been doing over several decades.

 

Mr. Byrd started early in his career as a child actor in Utica, New York.  What is unique about his journey is the length of time that he has been involved in advocacy as well as his deep level of human commitment through trials and tribulations.

It is a known fact that in the normal course of our lives we will all encounter roadblocks in life. Mr. Byrd through it all has found a way to consistently spread his message locally, regionally, nationally and internationally to make a difference on the planet.

As we take readers down memory lane to learn about the scope and depth of his life's mission (and work to uncover and shared multiple layers of his life) we hope it will empower others to be faithful to their dreams.  Kevin Byrd is nationally known for his portrayal as Lt. John R. Fox in the 2006 History/HBO movie “Honor Deferred” produced by Al Roker.  It starred Samuel Jackson and Bernie Mac.

Lt. John R. Fox was a WWII hero who killed 100 German Soldiers in the War, died in action, and was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, five decades after his heroic acts by President Clinton.  The documentary picked up an Emmy/NAMIC Vision Award Nomination and garnered great reviews.

Smart Policy, Public Support Is
Essential To Black Business

Equal opportunity employers: When Black businesses thrive, the entire economy thrives, according to Phil Andrews, who says governments, lenders and other difference-makers have an obligation to help minority-owned businesses succeed. 

By Phil Andrews

To close out Black Business Month, let’s celebrate the dramatic increase in Black entrepreneurship and confront the challenges that still exist.

To overcome discriminatory lending practices and inadequate financial support, Black business owners have always been innovative and adaptable. They’ve built their own support networks through empowering organizations like the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce (LIAACC) and the African American Small Business Foundation. The success of these organizations is measured by how member businesses increase their revenue, employ more people and bolster the net worth of their enterprises.

Black business owners have also built thriving communities online. Digital platforms have become a crucial tool, leveling the playing field and bypassing many of the gatekeepers that have historically undermined economic success in our communities.

The rise of digital platforms has brought a new wave of opportunities for Black entrepreneurs. With just a smartphone and a vision, Black business owners can now reach global markets, access vital resources and scale their ventures in ways that were previously unimaginable.
