On Episode 14 of the If You Are My Brothers Podcast, host Reggie Hicks is joined by four members of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Zeta Pi Chapter at the University of Georgia—brothers who pledged together in 1976 as part of a line of twelve. Decades later, all four have faced prostate cancer.
Their powerful conversation explores brotherhood, survival, and the alarming reality prostate cancer poses for men of color—proving why early detection, awareness, and open dialogue can save lives.

"If 'You Are My Brothers" is a documentary and outreach project that follows the journeys of two African-American men dealing with prostate issues. Ralph Franklin, a real estate lawyer with a PSA level of 100 and a terminal prognosis, meets a physician who helps him prepare to live rather than succumb to the disease. Reggie Hicks, the documentary's producer, is diagnosed with the same illness while chronicling Ralph's story. This single narrative develops into two distinct yet deeply connected stories — two men facing their own challenges, united by a shared bond of brotherhood and hope.

In this edition of If You Are My Brothers, we share powerful stories and new conversations moving men from awareness to action in the fight against prostate cancer. From expert insights to community impact, discover how you can join the movement to change the narrative around men’s health.
