The Urban Family Focus Podcast explores the issues shaping Black families and urban communities. Hosted by Rev. Jerrold Smith, each episode features faith-based insight, expert guests, and real conversations on health, wealth, justice, and more. Empowering talk that uplifts, informs, and inspires.
In this deeply informative and heartfelt episode, we bring together three powerful voices in the fight against lung cancer: Tony Wafford, President & CEO of the I Choose Life Foundation; Dr. Amy Cummings, leading medical expert in pulmonary care; and Rev. Oliver Buie, advocate, minister, and survivor voice in the health equity space.
Together, they break down the realities of lung cancer in our community — from prevention and early detection to disparities in care and the emotional weight carried by families. This conversation shines a light on the importance of awareness, screenings, and advocacy, especially in Black and Brown communities where diagnosis rates are rising and treatment gaps persist.
This episode is both educational and empowering, reminding us that taking a breath is not something we can take for granted — and that knowledge is one of our strongest tools for saving lives.
