Movember

Many that know me, know about my passion for data, water and the Caribbean as that’s all you hear from me. But recently, I have had several in-depth conversations with friends and family. These conversations have focused on health, our habits, and things we want to improve, including ensuring we’re scheduling preventative annual checkups. While we now talk about having a mental break from our work and other facets of life, men often don’t have a deep conversation about their own health as it can be an “uncomfortable” topic. - I myself have deprioritized eating foods that make me feel my best or haven’t made time for consistent movement at times over the past few years.

So, for the first time (of hopefully many more to follow)- I recently completed my pledge of No-Shave November or otherwise known as Movember which think is a great way to think about men's health and take on tough conversations to give men the facts they need to know to live better and healthier lives.

No-Shave November goes well beyond the act of simply letting facial hair grow. This effort also raises awareness and funding for cancer research, and to provide support for those afflicted by this terrible illness. To hold myself accountable, I am scheduling myself for my annual physical checkup and encourage all the readers to do the same, we all need to be vigilant of our health (wealth!).At the end of it, I am going to donate to https://www.no-shave.org/?and encourage everyone to donate for the cause.

P.S. not many have seen me with this much hair on my face -
