Black Men’s Health Clinic Speaks on Health on Youth-Led Radio Show (SEGMENT CLIP)
Last Saturday, the Black Men’s Health Clinic® (BMHC) was featured on POV Austin—By Teens, For Teens, a youth-led radio program on KAZI 88.7 FM hosted by Riley King.
The episode highlighted an inspiring conversation between Riley and BMHC’s Senior Director of Operations, Hon. Larry Wallace Jr., Ph.D. Together, they explored the clinic’s mission to close the healthcare gap for men of color, their immediate families, and anyone with extenuating circumstances. They also delved into the power of understanding the needs of people and the importance of building trust to bring healing to underserved populations.
The dialogue was “for teens and by teens,” but it was an engaging and relevant discussion that is compelling for those of us who have passed our youthful years.
Riley thanked Hon. Larry Wallace Jr., Ph.D., for his “insightful answers” as she closed out the interview. Then Riley came back and welcomed the founding creator of the KAZI POV Radio Show, Maya Hay, to the show.
These two young intellectual hosts seamlessly transitioned into a thoughtful discussion about Dr. Larry’s BMHC interview with Riley, about the impact of the wisdom and experiences he shared, and how they relate to the health challenges and hopes of today’s youth, particularly in the mental health space.
BMHC was honored and proud to be a part of the teen radio spot—supporting intergenerational dialogue that centers around community health and wellness.
Thank you, POV Austin and KAZI FM, for empowering our youth and spotlighting the importance of health!
