Reuben opened up about the journey that began with what he thought was food poisoning. After months of misdiagnoses, a fourth ER visit finally revealed a tumor in his colon. Surgery and six grueling months of chemotherapy followed — but so did a creative rebirth.
“Painting helped me heal,” Reuben said. “It reminded me that being vulnerable has value — not just for me, but for anyone who needs hope.” His Healed collection now features over 20 vibrant pieces, each paired with personal stories from his treatment. Instead of dark tones, Reuben filled the room with bright colors to represent life after pain.
He credits his wife for standing by him through every chemo session, and his faith for keeping him grounded. “There’s always someone you can talk to,” he said. “You don’t have to be an artist to tell your story.” Reuben also urged listeners — especially Black men — to take their health seriously: “Don’t self-diagnose. Get checked early. Listen to your body.”
