Fatherhood, Legacy & Colorectal Cancer Awareness with Dr. Charles R. Rogers | I Am Dad Podcast

In this powerful and wide-ranging episode of the I Am Dad Podcast, host Kenneth Braswell, CEO of Fathers Incorporated, welcomes Dr. Charles R. Rogers—award-winning behavioral scientist, founder of the Colorectal Cancer Equity Foundation, and passionate advocate for Black men’s health. Together, they explore the layered reality of fatherhood, from Dr. Rogers' personal story of losing his father to suicide at age four, to his work combating health disparities in colorectal cancer. The conversation cuts deep into the undervalued role of fathers in family health, why “picking someone’s brain” without compensation is problematic, and how boundaries, service, and legacy must co-exist for Black men doing impactful work. Dr. Rogers also discusses the rise in early-onset colorectal cancer, the barriers Black men face in screening and treatment, and the critical need to reframe conversations around masculinity and preventive care. Whether you're a father, health advocate, or community leader, this episode is a call to elevate the health and worth of Black men—for themselves and the families who depend on them. Dr. Charles R. Rogers is a nationally recognized behavioral scientist, public health expert, and the Founding Director of the Men’s Health Inequities Research Lab. With over 20 years of experience addressing health disparities, Dr. Rogers is especially known for his groundbreaking work to eliminate racial gaps in colorectal cancer outcomes, particularly among African-American men. He is the founder of the Colorectal Cancer Equity Foundation, a husband, and a devoted father.
