Have you ever felt like you could only be half of yourself in certain environments, or a modified version of yourself (to the benefit of others) in order to feel safe? It is pride month, and Darrell has a lot to express. What changes are we willing to make in our lives so that we don't have to stuff ourselves deep inside ourselves, suffering in silence for anyone? It is no longer a secret that sometimes we can feel seriously wrong for our identities, and together, let's decide not to. What are the stakes, and why does this world need us? The LGBTQIA+ community is a very beautiful, vast, creative union that lengths from one side of the world to another, and deserve to be honored. In what small, or big, ways are we honoring ourselves? Sit in with your favorite snack as Darrell poetically expresses what his experience has been like, so far, protecting himself in environments that normalize homophobia within the black community, and how crucial it is to find better environments for ourselves (barbershops, creative spaces, friendships, etc.)
