Grown + Closeted

Coming out isn't always a one time event. Sometimes, even as adults, we find ourselves hiding parts of who we are from the people we love most. In this deeply personal episode, Joi reflects on the relationships, family dynamics, and difficult conversations that shaped her coming out journey. From keeping her first girlfriend a secret to navigating acceptance, grief, and the fear of disappointing loved ones, she explores what it means to be grown and still closeted. Because sometimes the hardest part of coming out isn't figuring out who you are. It's wondering what you might lose when everyone else finds out. Let's stay connected!
