A Great Idea Executed Beautifully
I didn’t know I was missing this podcast until I listened to the first episode. Erick’s thought-provoking subjects and insightful conversations with guests are so resonant.
There is a need for this visibility in the LGBTQ+ Community
Erick has presented an amazing and diverse group of world citizens with wide-ranging experiences, it is fascinating to hear these stories of how these People Of Color move in the circles of their lives, embracing their Blackness as well as their place within the LGBTQ+ community. It is so important to share this visibility so everyone can come to understand the full length and breadth of POC/LGBTQ+, the work they are doing, and how they are shaping the world. This podcast is not just for POC, it's accessible to everyone and benefits people of all ethnicities with the stories being shared. I applaud Erick for realizing this gap existed and I think he is doing an amazing job of filling in the blank spaces. Kudos to you! :)
Awesome man!
My first episode was with Roux!! I was not ready for the depth of this conversation! Love it! Get it Erick!
