In this milestone 50th episode of Selfed, I’m laying it all out. Vulnerability has been a challenge, but it’s time to step into it fully. Inspired by my therapist calling me out for hiding parts of myself, I’m diving into how I’ve struggled to find representation in unconventional spaces—spaces I feel deeply connected to, but don’t always see Black men like me. Whether it’s yoga, anime, running two nonprofits, or just navigating life as a Consciousness Seeking Black Man, I’m constantly searching for community.
In this episode, I also announce the Black Men’s Emotional Wellness Symposium happening on November 30th, a space to connect with brothers who feel like they don’t always fit the mold. This is a personal reflection, my "8 Mile moment," where I set my intentions for Selfed moving forward. I’m building a roadmap for myself, and I know I’m not alone in this journey. Tune in, and let’s keep creating spaces for vulnerability and connection.
