Confessions of a Queer Black Boy.

hey, it's been a while ... but we're BACK. and tbh better than ever! 

in this episode, I wanna talk about going after your goals and manifesting your shit! 

go ahead and get you some tea and let's vibe lol. 

in such weird times, it is easy to forget the things that make you happy. in this episode Ellis list some of the weird things that he has grown fond of in 2020. what are you grateful for?

one thing that I am sure about is that you don't know how much power you have within yourself! your mind is such a beautiful and powerful thing but more than likely, you aren't using it to its best ability. It's meant to help you manifest and attract all of the things you want. 

in this episode, I want to talk about the power we yield simply with our minds and how it can help us get out of a disempowered state. 

being in a rut is not fun. your creativity is stifled. you don't feel like dealing with people. you don't even feel like getting out of bed. in this episode listen while Ellis lists his tip and tricks about getting out of a rut! relatable af.

"self-love is a journey that we all must take".

in this episode, Ellis is joined by Roderick (@xrwoodruff) & Marshawn (@shawnjfrencha) to talk about the memoir/manifesto,  "all boys aren't blue" written by George M. Johnson. 

Summary of the book: "In a series of personal essays, prominent journalist and LGBTQIA+ activist George M. Johnson explores his childhood, adolescence, and college years in New Jersey and Virginia. From the memories of getting his teeth kicked out by bullies at age five, to flea marketing with his loving grandmother, to his first sexual relationships, this young-adult memoir weaves together the trials and triumphs faced by Black queer boys."

sometimes we allow ourselves to live in a disempowered state. constantly second-guessing and not being kind to ourselves. this state is not okay at all. listen while Ellis works through the tendencies that keep him in a disempowered state, and how he hopes to change it. the general message of the episode: be the bad, unapologetic, and amazing person that you want to be. Stop holding yourself back!

the title speaks for itself. life can make you feel like you're just going through the motions. sometimes to combat these feelings we need to move with intention and find balance in the shitshow called "life".
