*This episode has some explicit content*  This diary entry was sparked partially by a breakfast club interview with a drag queen by the name of Flame Monroe. In this episode, I share some of the challenges I've had with my sexual orientation and experiences in relationships. I speak on how it has impacted my life, relationships, mental health and where I am today. Honesty, transparency, vulnerability are high in this episode. For anyone who has been rejected or felt confused because of who they are attracted to sexually, this is going to be a good one for you. There is much more to cover and there will be a part 2. But for now, enjoy part 1!

Do you wish that there were things you knew at a younger age? Do you believe that if you had this knowledge, you would be better off today? In this diary entry, I share 10 pieces of advice that I would give to myself 10 years ago. I share some stories and reasons why I would give this advice and how it even applies to my life today. I have learned so much about myself, life and the world we all share, I felt compelled to share this list. I hope you are able to relate to the advice I would give my younger self and it inspires you to continue grow and evolve. For any questions, comments or feedback, please email [email protected].

This diary entry touches on my mental health journey and how podcasts have impacted it. In this episode, you will hear a part of my story that for a long time, I was ashamed of. However that feeling of shame and embarrassment no longer exists. If you are being challenged by mental health, seek help and support, it's out there. I   am sharing to let others know they are not alone. To also spark health conversations to end the stigma, especially for the black community and black men. I hope you enjoy!
