“Sharing my story is vital. If even one person learns about the resources available and seeks help, it’s worth it.” - Richard

Richard’s insights highlight the disparities in access to healthcare while offering actionable steps for other Black people with myeloma to take control of their health and seek the support they deserve. 

His journey is not just about facing myeloma; it’s about thriving against the odds and empowering others to do the same. His transparency about the mistakes he made in self-diagnosing, his eventual life-saving treatments, and his role as a Coach within the HealthTree Foundation offer invaluable lessons for patients and care partners alike.
