This segment welcomes DC hip hop pioneer, and legend Priest Da Nomad. During the episode we discuss Priest's recently completed documentary about the art scene in DC, his musical journey, and what he feels his lasting legacy will be. Priest Da Nomad is one of the pioneers of independent DC Hip Hop and the re-emergence of the U street arts scene in the 1990s. He first started publicly performing and rocking college parties in 1992 in DC clubs such as the Ritz, Kilimanjaro, and the Mirage, when DJs recognizing his skills started putting him on the mic in DJ booths at the height of parties! Priest Da Nomad was one of the first indie artists from DC to press up and release his own 12inch vinyl singles and receive mainstream mix show radio air play, without being signed to a major record label at that time. Priest made a lot of noise as a solo artist and as a member of the Freestyle Union arts organization, dedicated to elevating the art of freestyle and improvisational rhyming up and down the east coast. He was also at the forefront of the hip hop theatre movement as a member of the hip hop theatre play “Rhyme Deferred” along with posthumous legendary actor Chadwick Boseman and Apollo Theatre Director Kamilah Forbes. Priest released a number of singles and projects throughout the span of 3 decades with numerous accolades in local press, hip hop magazines and blogs. He has been written up in publications such as The Source, Billboard magazine, Sister to Sister, Rap Pages, Blaze, Washington Post, Washington Times, and numerous Washington City Paper articles, including a cover story by now national best selling author Ta-Nehisi Coates. Priest was also the subject of a book “Hip Hop as Performance and Ritual” by ethnomusicologist Dr. William E. Smith, which dealt with jazz and hip hop improvisation links to Africa.
Not the strongest version of this story we could have gotten, but Chadwick Boseman does a great job as Jackie Robinson. The post A054: 42 (2013) appeared first on .

Episode 183: Colorectal Cancer in Young AdultsFuture Dr. Avila and Dr. Arreaza present evidence-based information about the screening and diagnosis of colorectal cancer and explain the increasing incidence among young adult and the importance to screen early in high risk groups. Written by Jessica Avila, MS4, American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine. Edits and comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.IntroductionJessica: Although traditionally considered a disease only affecting older adults, colorectal cancer (CRC) has increasingly impacted younger adults (defined as those under 50) at an alarming rate. According to the American Cancer Society, CRC is now the leading cause of cancer-related death in men under 50 and the second leading cause in women under 50 (American Cancer Society, 2024). Arreaza: Why were you motivated to talk about CRC in younger patients?Jessica: Because despite advancements in early detection and treatment, younger patients are often diagnosed at later stages, resulting in poorer outcomes. We will discuss possible causes, risk factors, common symptoms, and why early screening and prevention are important. Arreaza: This will be a good reminder for everyone to screen for colorectal cancer because 1 out of every 5 cases of colorectal cancer occur in adults between the ages of 20 and 54. The Case of Chadwick BosemanJessica: Many people know Chadwick Boseman from his role as T'Challa in Black Panther. His story highlights the worrying trend of increasing CRC in young adults. He was diagnosed with stage III colorectal cancer at age 39. This diagnosis was not widely known until he passed away at 43. His case shows how silent and aggressive young-onset CRC can be. Like many young adults with CRC, his symptoms may have been missed or thought to be less serious issues. His death drew widespread attention to the rising burden of CRC among young adults and emphasized the critical need for increased awareness and early screening efforts.Arreaza: Black Panther became a hero not only in the movie, but also in real life, because he raised awareness of the problem in young AND in Black adults. EpidemiologyJessica: While rates of CRC in older populations have decreased since the 1990s, adults under 50 have seen an increase in CRC rates of nearly 50%. (Siegel et al., 2023). Currently, one in five new CRC diagnoses occurs in individuals younger than 55 (American Cancer Society, 2024).Arreaza: What did you learn about the incidence by ethnic groups? Are there any trends? Jessica: Yes, certain ethnic groups are shown to have higher rates of CRC. Black Americans, Native Americans, and Alaskan Natives have the highest incidence and mortality rates from CRC (American Cancer Society, 2024). Black Americans have a 20% higher incidence and a 40% higher mortality rate from CRC compared to White Americans, primarily due to disparities in access to screening, healthcare resources, and early diagnosis. Hispanic and Asian American populations are also experiencing increasing CRC rates, though to a lesser extent.Arreaza: It is important to highlight that Black Americans have the highest rate of both diagnoses and deaths of all groups in the United States. Who gets colorectal cancer?Risk FactorsJessica: Anyone can get colorectal cancer, but some are at higher risk. In most cases, environmental and lifestyle factors are to blame, but early-onset CRC are linked to hereditary conditions. Arreaza: There is so much to learn about colorectal cancer risk factors. Tell us more.Jessica: The following are key risk factors:Modifiable risk factors:Diet and processed foods: A diet high in processed meats, red meat, refined sugars, and low fiber is strongly associated with an increased risk of CRC. Fiber is essential for gut health, and its deficiency has been linked to increased colorectal cancer risk (Dekker et al., 2023).Obesity and sedentary lifestyle: Obesity and physical inactivity contribute to CRC risk by promoting chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and metabolic disturbances that promote tumor growth (Stoffel & Murphy, 2023).Gut microbiome imbalance: Disruptions in gut microbiota, especially an overgrowth of Fusobacterium nucleatum, have been noted in CRC pathogenesis, potentially causing tumor development and progression (Brennan & Garrett, 2023).Arreaza: As a recap, processed foods, obesity, sedentarism, and gut microbiome. We also have to mention smoking and high alcohol consumption as major risks factors, but the strongest risk factor is a family history of the disease.Non-modifiable risk factors:Genetic predisposition: Although only 20% of early-onset CRC cases are linked to hereditary syndromes such as Lynch syndrome and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), individuals with a first-degree relative with CRC are at a significantly higher risk and should undergo earlier and more frequent screening (Stoffel & Murphy, 2023).Arreaza: Also, there is a difference in incidence per gender assigned at birth, which is also not modifiable. The rate in the US was 33% higher in men (41.5 per 100,000) than in women (31.2 per 100,000) during 2015-2019. So, if you are a man, your risk for CRC is slightly higher. Protective factors, according to the ACS, are physical activity (no specification about how much and how often) and dairy consumption (400g/day). Jessica, let's talk about how colon cancer presents in our younger patients.Clinical Presentation and Challenges in DiagnosisJessica: Young-onset CRC is often diagnosed at advanced stages due to delayed recognition of symptoms. Common symptoms include:Rectal bleeding (often mistaken for hemorrhoids)Young individuals may ignore it, believe they do not have time to address it, or lack insurance to cover a comprehensive evaluation.Unexplained weight lossFatigue or weaknessChanges in bowel habits (persistent diarrhea or constipation)This may also be rationalized by dietary habits.Abdominal pain or bloatingIron deficiency anemia.Arreaza: All those symptoms can also be explained by benign conditions, and colorectal cancer can often be present without clear symptoms in its early stages. Jessica: Yes, in young adults, symptoms may be dismissed by healthcare providers as benign conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), hemorrhoids, or dietary intolerance, leading to significant diagnostic delays. Arreaza: We must keep a low threshold for ordering a colonoscopy, especially in patients with the risks we mentioned previously. Jessica: We may also be concerned about the risk/benefit of colonoscopy or diagnostic methods in younger adults, given the traditional low likelihood of CRC. Approximately 58% of young CRC patients are diagnosed at stage III or IV, compared to 43% of older adults (American Gastroenterological Association, 2024). Early recognition and prompt evaluation of persistent symptoms are crucial for improving outcomes. Empowering and informing young adults about concerning symptoms is the first step in better recognition and better outcomes for these individuals.Arreaza: This is when the word “follow up” becomes relevant. I recommend you leave the door open for patients to return if their common symptoms worsen or persist. Let's talk about screening. Screening and PreventionJessica: Due to the trend of CRC being identified in younger populations, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) lowered the recommended screening age for CRC from 50 to 45 in 2021 (USPSTF, 2021). Off the record, some Gastroenterologists also foresee the USPSTF lowering the age to 40. Arreaza: That is correct, it seems like everyone agrees now that the age to start screening for average-risk adults is 45. It took a while until everyone came to an agreement, but since 2017, the US Multi-Society Task Force had recommended screening at age 45, the American Cancer Society recommended the same age (45) in 2018, and the USPSTF recommended the same age in 2021. This podcast is a reminder that the age of onset has been decreased from 50 to 45, for average-risk patients, according to major medical associations.Jessica: For individuals with additional risk factors, including a family history of CRC or chronic gastrointestinal symptoms, screening starts at age 40 or 10 years before the diagnosis of colon cancer in a first-degree relative. Dr. Arreaza, who has the lowest and the highest rate of screening for CRC in the US? Arreaza: The best rate is in Massachusetts (70%) and the lowest is California (53%). Let's review how to screen:Jessica: Recommended Screening Methods:Colonoscopy: Considered the gold standard for CRC detection and prevention, colonoscopy allows for identifying and removing precancerous polyps.Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT): A non-invasive stool test that detects hidden blood, recommended annually.Stool DNA Testing (e.g., Cologuard): This test detects genetic mutations associated with CRC and is recommended every three years.Arreaza: Computed tomographic colonography (CTC) is another option, it is less common because it is not covered by all insurance plans, it examines the whole colon, it is quick, with no complications. Conclusion:Colorectal cancer is rapidly emerging as a serious health threat for young adults. The increase in cases over the past three decades highlights the urgent need for increased awareness, early symptom detection, and proactive screening. While healthcare providers must weigh the risk/benefit of testing for CRC in younger adults, patients must also be equipped with knowledge of concerning signs so that they may also advocate for themselves. Early detection remains the most effective tool in preventing and treating CRC, emphasizing the importance of screening and risk factor modification.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser.

As we kick off Black History Month, we're zeroing in on an actor famous for playing larger-than-life characters onscreen. After a slow and steady ascension up the showbiz ladder, South Carolina native Chadwick Boseman knocks it out of the park with his portrayal of Jackie Robinson in “42.” And after his regal performance in “Black Panther,” he becomes Hollywood royalty. But then, when Chadwick is at the top of his game, he's dealt a devastating blow - a stage-3 colon cancer diagnosis. He handles the unthinkable with quiet dignity, keeping it completely under wraps while still helping others. One thing's for certain - even though Chadwick is no longer with us, his incredible legacy remains. He was a talented actor and true humanitarian: a real life superhero.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes Reliable scooper Jeff Sneider claims Marvel Studios is actively looking for an actor to play T'Challa/The Black Panther, replacing the late Chadwick Boseman who passed away in 2020. According to Sneider, the studio's replacement of Boseman is only due to the fact that the MCU is working within the Multiverse currently. In related news, when asked during an interview about a dream role, Wicked star Cynthia Erivo said she would “really want to play Storm,” to “uncover how grand she is,”. Lastly, an OG villain is returning to the MCU, with Faran Tahir coming to the small screen to reprise the character of Raza, the leader of the so-called Ten Rings from 2008's Iron Man. In some confirmed casting news, Rory McCann will replace the late Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll for Ahsoka season two. McCann is best known for playing The Hound in Game of Thrones, but his roster of work also includes Gladiator II, Hot Fuzz, Clash of the Titans, and more. Ahsoka is part of Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau's Mandoverse, and Filoni will return as showrunner for season two. Director Andy Muschietti let it be known why he thinks the 2023 DCEU movie The Flash, flopped. On Radio Tu's “La Baulera del Coso” show, Muschietti said the film didn't appeal to “all four quadrants” of moviegoers. The quadrants he's speaking of are men over 25, men under 25, women over 25, and women under 25. Muschietti also said anecdotally that in conversations with people he found they “just don't care about the Flash as a character…particularly the two female quadrants.” Colman Domingo has been cast in Edgar Wright's The Running Man and will star alongside Glen Powell, Josh Brolin, Karl Glusman, Katy O'Brian and Daniel Ezra. The film releases on November 7. Production on many Hollywood television and film projects has been suspended and events such as The Critic's Choice Awards, red carpet premieres, and The Academy Awards nominations have been postponed due to the LA area wildfires. Five-time WWE world champion Seth Rollins has confirmed he is not in upcoming MCU movie Captain America: Brave New World, saying his role was cut following extensive rewrites of the script and subsequent reshoots. Universal Pictures has updated the release date calendar for two animated properties. DreamWorks' Shrek 5 has been pushed back almost 6 months to December 23, 2026 and Minions 3 from Illumination is moving forward almost a year to take Shrek 5's original date of July 1, 2026. Variety reported today that MCU screenwriting veteran Marcus McFeely originally turned the Russo Brothers down about writing for Secret Wars, even though he is the reason the directing duo is returning. However, the next day McFeely called the Russos back and said he was in after coming up with an idea for the film. Warner Brothers is bringing back The Puppy Bowl for its 21st installment this year, but will use the game to bolster its upcoming DCU film Superman. James Gunn will appear during The Puppy Bowl with his dog Ozu, who served as the inspiration for the superdog Krypto in the film. Gunn will introduce a sneak preview of Superman and deliver a “special message” to viewers. According to box office tracking service Quorum, Captain America: Brave New World will likely cross the $100 Million Dollar Mark in it's opening 4 day weekend Ludwig Göransson will compose the score for Christopher Nolan's upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey. Göransson's other film and TV credits include Creed, Black Panther, Atlanta, Tenet, and The Mandalorian. Succession creator Jesse Armstrong has reached an agreement with HBO to produce a feature film. The movie is based on an original idea of Armstrong's and will center on four friends who meet up in the midst of a global financial crisis. Production is currently fast-tracked to start later this year.
Colorectal cancer, the disease that claimed the life of "Black Panther" actor Chadwick Boseman at age 43, was once considered an “old person's” illness. It no longer is. The National Cancer Institute says early-onset colorectal cancer is now the No. 1 cause of cancer death in people 20 to 49 years old. It gets worse. Studies show that cancer that develops in younger people tends to be more aggressive. So, why are Gen Xers, millennials, and Gen Zers developing a disease they never would have dreamed of getting not that long ago? To help answer this question, I am so honored to be joined by Dr. Andrea Cercek, a board-certified medical oncologist who specializes in the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Dr. Cercek is also the founder and co-director of the Center for Young Onset Colorectal and Gastrointestinal Cancer – this clinic – dedicated to serving the specific needs of people under 50 who have these cancers, is the first of its kind in the world. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Cercek about the possible causes for this rise in colorectal cancers, what we can do to reduce our risk of developing colorectal cancer, and about the exciting treatment options that are being developed at MSK to cure colorectal cancer without the often-crippling side effects of radiation, chemo, and surgery. One of the beneficiaries of Dr. Cercek's research and treatment is her former patient, Kelly, who also join us in this conversation. Kelly was just 29 with an 8-month-old baby when she was-diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Thanks to the immunotherapy treatment that Dr. Cercek's team discovered, Kelly is now cancer-free, did not have to have chemo, radiation, or surgery, and has gone on to live a full and healthy life. To learn everything you need to know about colorectal cancer, and to hear one woman's inspiring story, this episode is for you! If you enjoy the show, please rate and review.
