Vasco Stevenson

I was born in Barbados and started my working life as a school teacher. I came to UK and worked for an insurance company and later became a Branch Manager for an investment company.

I got involved in health matters over 17 years ago and have been on several local radio stations including Galaxy (several times), SLR(several times), Station FM, RJR, Supreme, Tropical FM, Croydon Radio, Venture, One Harmony and Genesis and Colourful Radio.

I also had a small part in a documentary that was aired on ITV in October 2013 where I was filmed undergoing a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test. I have been on Ben TV in 2011 and 2013 and in August 2012 was on BBC Radio (Prostate), a programme that was aired nationally.

In order to get information to as many people as possible I have developed my own website www.blackhealth.co.uk.

My spare time is spent giving PowerPoint presentations in and around London and sometimes further afield. I spend about 3 hours per day researching health matters and have presented to several churches (Harlesden Baptist – Faith Chapel- Vine Church – Shiloh – Beulah – Mount Zion (Nottingham) to name a few, community groups, clubs and other organizations.

I have recently completed six presentations for Lambeth Probation Services and have presented to the Association of Black Probation Officers, The Barbados Democratic Labour Party (Barbados High Commission), St. Lucia Diabetic Association, Park View Academy, Croydon Caribbean Credit Union, three times to the ancillary staff at the Whittington Hospital (Archway) and at Croydon University Hospital on behalf of (Macmillan Cancer Support Group).

I have also appeared on Ben TV at 10.00 am on Friday 14th February 2014 and again on 12th October 2014 on their Lifestyle programme. I am also a member of The Association for Prostate Awareness based at the Barking Road Hub (Formerly the African Caribbean Centre) Newham , 627/633 Barking Road, Plaistow, London E13 (APA) www.prostate-awareness.co.uk.

I also present on certain aspects of Black History and have presented on “West Indians at the Panama Canal 1850 to 1914” on Saturday 20th October at the Croydon Supplementary School, 32 Sydenham Road, Croydon, who have now booked a series of health presentations well into the new year. This presentation was also made at City Hall, South Bank, London SE1 and The Barking Hub on the 24th October 2014 and the Marcus Garvey Library on the 6th November 2014 and on 25th of November at Wood Green Library. I also present on the Herero genocide in South West Africa  and am currently working on King Leopold and the Belgian Congo. A current list of my bookings is on my website www.blackhealth.co.uk, “Events & Engagements”.

I also host a radio chat programme every Sunday morning from 10.08 am to 12.00 oneharmonyradio.com.

I live by the maxim “Let your food be your medicine” as proposed by the Egyptian priest, teacher and architect Imhotep over 2,000 years before Hippocrates was born.
