Living your truth can often come at a cost, but nothing is more beautiful than a soul that refuses to settle for anything less than 100% RAW realness. In this episode of the chattabox, Jelani Simmons (@jelvni) shares his journey of coming out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community and navigating the backlash within conservative Caribbean communities.
