Today I interviewed Rashid Darden (one of my Social Media Friends).  We had a great conversation about his experience as a Black Gay Man and within the scope of being in a Black Greek Lettered Organization, coming out; as well as Intersectionality in general.  We talked about checking our own biases & how it's okay for Black people to question when white people who come into Black spaces.  This was such a great conversation and I hope you get something out of it!
