EP 23: Friendship Vs Romance--Is It Worth The Risk? FT. Curly Velasquez

Happy Galentine's Day and almost Valentine's Day, besties!

Have you been struggling with having romantic feelings for your best friend? Are you unsure about whether or not you should tell them? Well, Daysha has definitely been there and invites her BuzzFeed bestie, Curly Velasquez, on the podcast to discuss the pros and cons of revealing your feelings and risking your friendship for romance.

Curly Velasquez is a Salvadoran Los Angeles-based creator. He began his career working for celebrity photographer David LaChapelle, and design icon Jeremy Scott. Curly began work with BuzzFeed as a receptionist but quickly became a viral sensation and one of the founding members of one of the largest digital Latino platforms—Pero Like.  You can also see Curly on Hulu’s VIDA (Seasons 2 and 3), Netflix’s documentary Mucho Mucho Amor,  E!, and PBS’ Dead and Buried—oh, and his iHeart podcast with his best friend Maya Murillo called the super secret bestie club.
