And as the sun blessed his melanated skin, he couldn’t help but wonder... Is it worth it? Let me work it. 😂

BLACK, GAY, & LEARNING TO LOVE MYSELF MORE EVERY SINGLE DAY. It’s Pride month & I’m so grateful that I’m able to fully express myself now, but it’s been a long journey to get here.

If you would’ve told me in 2011 that I would be living in LA fully out & proud, engaged to my best friend, working as a successful TV host, finally have the confidence to not care what other people think (still a work in progress), & that I would be loved and respected by my family & friends...I wouldn’t believe you.

Did you know that I went to school for editing because I was too afraid to be in front of the camera fearing that people would realize that I’m gay? Did you know that I considered taking my life when someone called me a fag in high school? Did you know that for well over two decades, I hid who I was & was miserable trying to act “straight”? If you didn’t, now you know some of why celebrating Pride month is so important to me. I just want to continue to inspire others to live their lives authentically and freely. I want people to feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgment. I want to wear my short shorts, my rainbow shoes & socks, & fly my pride flag freely despite the looks & judgment. So to the younger version of myself & to anyone who needs to hear this, I LOVE YOU JUST AS YOU ARE. BE BOLD, SHINE YOUR LIGHT, & SOAR. Happy Pride Everyone!
