Billy Porter has spent his life breaking barriers—but behind the boldness, the fashion, and the history-making moments is a journey of deep resilience, healing, and the power of unconditional love.

On My Legacy, hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger sit down with Billy and his younger sister, Mary Martha Ford, for a deeply personal conversation about identity, family, and finding the courage to live authentically.

Billy opens up about his early years in Pittsburgh, the challenges of growing up queer in a religious community, and the angels who helped him dream beyond his circumstances. He reflects on the moment he chose himself—refusing to shrink to fit others' expectations—and how that decision shaped his career and his sense of purpose.

Mary Martha shares her own story of strength, revealing the depth of their unbreakable bond, from childhood Christmases to the moment Billy became her caregiver during a life-threatening health crisis.

Together, through laughter and unfiltered vulnerability, they explore what it means to love without conditions, support each other through life's hardest moments, and standing tall in who you are.
