This is the first Culture of You episode with a guest! I had the chance to sit down with Corey Williams, also known in the Columbus, Ohio Community as Anisa Love and get very real and deep about being Black, Gay, Pastor's Kids and an overall Bad Mama 'shut yo mouth'. I loved this conversation and getting to know Corey much more. Find some time to sit with this episode and really let it marinate. Play it when you have some time to really watch and/or listen. You will be glad you did.
