Stroke, Diabetes and Divabetic on WDAS FM

It is a privilege for Max Szadek to be featured in the NAACP Image Awards-nominated documentary Luther: Never Too Much, where he shares his story of discovering Luther Vandross after experiencing a stroke due to mismanaged type 2 diabetes. Through his health advocacy, Max hopes to inspire others to take proactive steps to avoid a similar health crisis.

Remember, if you notice any signs of a stroke, don’t hesitate to seek help right away – swift action can greatly impact your recovery. Let’s look out for each other! It’s essential to seek help, connect with a caring community, and share your journey.

Philadelphia's beloved WDAS Radio personality, Patty Jackson, is a true inspiration! After surviving a stroke, she continues to bring joy to her audience behind the microphone and camera.
