A Queer In Your Ear

In this episode, I unpack what it means to heal while being Black, queer, human in a world that often demands our silence, and dropping truths like: "Survival is the floor, not the ceiling. healing is where we build the house."

They told us we were too much - too loud, too queer, too real... But what if "too much" is exactly enough? What if grace isn't weakness, but resistance?

Queer In Your Ear is back! This isn't just a return - it's a reset. In this episode, I get real about silence and my journey of finding hope in the mess. Poetry, truth, and raw stories woven together for anyone healing, hiding, or hungry for something real. Thank you for letting me back in your ear. New episodes every other week.

We complicate so much in life (unnecessarily at times), but self-care is SO simple. This week, my wife joins me and we chat about self-care, share some of our regimens, and outline the importance of self-care.

This episode talks about resilience and how we can use negative situations and experiences to be a better person in this shitty world.

It’s been a minute but BAD is BACK!
