This episode I’m sitting down with my amiguis Oscar Contreras — an artist, a corporate king, and someone who’s been navigating identity, culture, and creativity in a city that doesn’t always make space for all of it at once.

Oscar is first-gen, proudly gay, and living in Dallas — balancing a corporate career while staying true to his artistic voice. This conversation is about what it really looks like to exist between worlds: corporate professionalism and creative freedom, cultural expectations and personal truth, visibility and survival.

We’re talking about identity, resilience, and what it means to take up space when you were never taught that space was meant for you.
