Welcome back to the Flex This Podcast. So excited to start season 3 with a human I spent many hours grappling with the curiosity, joy, confusion, and sometimes pain of being person in the world. We talk about the context of this answer at the beginning of the podcast, however, I wanted to share it in the show notes as well. Before we recorded, I asked David for a bio, this is what he shared with me, “What listeners should know: How do I speak to who I am? I’m a constant student -intentional and hopeful. I identify as a black man before a reach for the handle of citizenship. Maybe I’m a bundle of black boy magic, black boy Joy? I’m still figuring that out. but more than anything I work at discovering what it is to exist. My challenge is learning how to go about this experience; to attempt nurture a peace, especially when I’m not sure footed. All the while, grateful for the opportunity.” *Mic drop* I am so excited for y’all to hear this conversation and to have David’s words and perspective inspire you to expand your own. You can connect with David via TikTok at @sawubrown where he is dropping exuberant levels of black boy Joy and grace into the world.
