THE POET GOD episodes

  • Coming Out As Human | S1 E7
    "I never believed you when you said you loved me because I never gave you all of me to love." It's unfortunate how many people in our lives this quote from one of my poems applies. The world we think we know and the people with whom we grow aren't always what we think. Often it's not about what truths you weren't told, but why you weren't trusted with the secrets of their soul. In this episode, Denzel and I are having a conversation about what it means to be unapologetically human in a judgmental society.

  • Men Too: I Think My Son Is Gay | S1 E6
    As we continue to explore the topic of toxic masculinity, Aman and I take a deeper look into how parents scar their sons unintentionally with their ideas of what equates to masculine or feminine behavior. And how the underlying message informs who they become as men who fear being seen as gay if they attempt to forge meaningful relationships with other men.

  • Men Too: Toxic Masculinity | S1 E5
    One of the things I envisioned in creating this podcast was to create a space where I could have conversations with men from different walks of life about subjects that maybe be sensitive or difficult to talk about at times. I know it is true that men share some of the same challenges women do which is why I’m calling this series "Men Too". To kick off this series I’m joined by Aman, a member of the board who joins me for a rather interesting conversation about toxic masculinity and how it affects our ability to connect with each other.

  • Poem: Just Not Today | S1 E11

    The words you are about to hear came pouring out one afternoon on the drive home. I was thinking about a few conversations I had with a couple friends about some difficult choices, and what experiencing depression feels like. Sometimes you don't always have answers to questions like "What's wrong?". Sometimes you can't bear to hear another piece of advice meant to minimize and dismiss you. So if you struggle with depression as I do, I send these words with many hugs and a kiss too.

  • The Plight of The Pansexual | S1 E2

    Sometimes who we come to know ourselves as is worlds away from that person our family thinks they know. I never believed many who said they loved me, especially in cases where I never gave them all of me to love. I was waiting for them to prove themselves worthy, but too many conditions came with all of the above. This is part one of an intimate conversation with a friend whom I've bonded with through shared assignments, finals, and a teacher who was always late. He showed up for me when I needed him, and that's​ what I really appreciate!

  • Many Rivers To Cross | S1 E1
    You met me in the midst of many things, shedding skin, sprouting wings. Looking at life as a spiritual being through a human lens, having conversations with God about so many things. I no longer look at mountains as an opponent I must defeat when I learned to fly I left climbing for the weak. When mountains rise as high as the altitudes I seek, they will learn just why I am who they must defeat! Welcome to our Premier, subscribe and join the community we have already started.
