In this episode, I dive into the unexpected journey of wearing an LGBTQ+ bracelet as a straight, Baptist-raised African American man. What started as a simple show of support sparked self-reflection, curiosity, and even a little controversy. We’ll talk about navigating faith, masculinity, and personal identity—and the surprising reactions from family, friends, and strangers alike. Join me as I share laughs, lessons, and some ‘food for thought’ on what it really means to embrace who you are, challenge stereotypes, and redefine strength and inclusivity—one bracelet at a time.
