Throughout September aka Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, Grafik employees took the initiative to talk to at least one man in our lives to encourage him to get checked  and ultimately, increase awareness about the disease. I chose Anan, the Salvadoran janitor for our building. I looked up how to say “El cancer de prostado es muy embarassado” and from there, we continued to look up the words we needed, like for “regular screenings” and he totally understood. He was grateful for the shirt I gifted him, and promised to talk to his doctor about it. Danielle shot the picture and it was really a gratifying experience. I made a new friend.
