Queer Covid Stories with Robert Blackmon

We’re joined by Robert Blackmon to talk about pandemic passion projects and his new book COURAGE BEHIND THE MASK. Just like we started Yass, Jesus! to find joy and community during quarantine, Robert started creating hilarious TikToks relating to lockdown and his own experience of the pandemic through his mother’s fight against Covid. Robert Blackmon is a Multi-Faceted Creator, Author, Lifestyle Specialist, Fashion Designer, Producer, Branding Coach, GIF/TikTok Personality & Originator; or as he puts it, "The Black, Gay, Martha Stewart. I do some of everything". ​ For more than two decades Robert has shared his advice with celebrities and clients around the globe. His brand, RobertEBlackmon.com®, began with a wedding planning advice book and has since expanded into an entire lifestyle brand that covers: food/home entertaining, fashion, fitness, DIY/décor, and how-to's for living your best life "Exactly Where You Are".
