It's been a while! Trying to make some changes to set myself up for success. Made some important phone calls. Looked at a couple co-working spaces today. Got my writing out ON TIME, which is great & unusual. 😆 I'm doing pretty good so far. If I could just get this podcast rolling, it's be even better.
I've been struggling with this project for some time. I really wanted to call it quits, but I think if I just change the structure and maybe get a few more guests booked, I think I could make this work. At least I hope so!
Wish me luck!

The fight is not over
UPDATE
Just wanted to let you guys know that I've updated the latest blog post. I encourage you guys to read it in its entirety as well as the other posts. I'd love to have support from my fellow Black LGBTQ peers and allies.
However, I will post the updated portion just so everyone is well aware:
I created this blog to express myself and share my views with anyone willing to listen, especially the Black LGBTQ+ community, and share information as it becomes available (i.e. when I figure things out). Black queerness is an integral part of my being, and I hid it for so long because of discrimination and fear. After years of hiding, great friends, and self-work, I no longer hide, and I hope that this blog helps someone out there who may be struggling. At the very least I want folks to be entertained. I am very new to the LGBTQ+ scene here in Richmond. I’m trying to be a big brave boy and get to know my Black LGBTQ+ community. I want to love on you, protect you, and help in any way I can. With that said, I was very recently informed about Diversity Thrift and the ongoing issues there. From what I can see on Big Gay Market’s Instagram post and a local I spoke with, a Black woman named Danni has faced sexual harassment and racism while working at Diversity Thrift. It also sounds like she may not have been the only one, but that’s just me guessing. I don’t know many details, but Big Gay Market and nonprofits, such as TransJam RVA, For the Fem In You, MAD RVA, RVA Community Fridges, have more information than I do. I’m sure they are more than willing to share. I’ll be reaching out to them myself to gather more information. Last but not least, Diversity Thrift is holding a Community Town Hall Listening Session on Tuesday, July 15th at 6 pm to “hear us out.” Diversity Thrift is located at 1407 Sherwood Avenue, Richmond, VA 23220.
I’ve mentioned before that I don’t feel like we—Black people—are accepted in the mainstream LGBTQ+ community. In fact, I wrote a blog post about it. Most of my fellow Black queers feel the same way. I am going to this town hall meeting, and I am going to be on the right side of things. The BLACK side! These white people and non-white enablers just let blatant discrimination slide because they don’t have to worry about it; they’re not being affected. Well, guess what?! No more! I really hope something good comes out of this. My Black people, I love you. Allies, I love you, too. Stay safe and as always, peace, love, and happiness.
As I've said before, the fight is NOT over!
Tumblr is a large place, and there are all kinds of people here from all walks of life. If you're in RVA, though, this would be a great way to support a Black woman in her time of need. If you're not able to make it, that's okay. I'll do my best to keep you guys updated.

I haven't posted, recorded, or done anything in so long. Uh! It's kind of frustrating, but it is what it is. My juice is gone. I'm not as motivated as I used to be. That's okay, though! I do have plans to get back on track.

I always drink a glass of wine before I record. I also drink during the episode, & if you listened to the last episode, you could definitely tell. 😆 Tonight, I am drinking some Grenache Syrah Mourvedre, & so far so good.

Also, this image is huge. My bad! But...at least you know which bottle of wine I'm talking about.

Okay! I need to focus on these outlines. I've been doing nothing but napping and eating 😆 but I did need it. Wish me luck!

Finally working on this outline. I wanted to do it earlier this weekend, but work got in the way. Exhaustion too! I took the longest nap ever, but I needed it. Hopefully, I can get through this then move onto my blog. June is a busy month! Also, Happy Pride Month y'all! Be your gayest, truest self!
Also ... you can check out my latest episode here or anywhere you listen to podcasts.

Episode 6 Out Now!!!
I did it y'all! I finally got this episode published! Was it on time? Hell naw! Is it better late than never? Absolutely!
Earlier on Bluesky, I realized I post the creator's link & not the regular link. Oops! I am just all over the place today. Why can't I get it together?! Oh well! I hope you guys like this one because I did put some effort into it. It may not be my best episode, but I did have fun recording, so I guess that's all that matters. Right? Riiiiight 😆
Pretty please give it a listen, like, and subscribe. Comment as well if you've got something to say or send me a DM or email. You can send me your stories or ask me a question that I'll answer on the podcast for you.
Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcast. I'm everywhere! Even YouTube! (I am an audio only podcast - for now - but you can listen on YT.)
Until next time ... peace, love, & happiness y'all!

Podcast Update!
FYI, the pod will NOT be dropping at 3am like it typically does. I had been drinking a ton during recording, so editing the episode was rough 🤣 It should be out by 8am, though, so keep ya eyes peeled. 👀

Forgot to reblog this earlier! Please follow and support. All are welcome ... except the haters, of course!
❤️🧡💛💚💙🩵💜

7 days to go!!!
So ... a couple of things ...
First off, enjoy this video I found on the BNC (@blacknerdscreate-deactivated202) discord server. I love it! And yes, anyone you run into could be LGBTQ.
Second, Pride Month is only 1 week away! What are your plans for Pride? Are you going to a lesbian/sapphic speed dating event? (yes, this is a thing) Are you going to be in a pride parade? What will you do to celebrate? Let me know by commenting or reblogging this post.
Third but not least, I will finally launch my official blog. I'll be sure to share the URL when it is ready. Right now, I'm doing a soft launch with a very small circle of folks so they can give me their honest opinions and feedback.
If you have anything you'd like to see from a Black LGBTQ+ blog, please let me know by sharing in the comments, messaging me, sending an ask, or emailing me at [email protected]. I love getting constructive and genuine feedback, not negative bullshit; keep that in mind.
While you wait for the blog to launch, if you are Black AND queer, you can join the Black LGBTQ+ Tumblr community (@blacklgbtq) that I created.
Thank you for taking the time to read this! If you have any questions about anything posted, please let me know. As always, comments, likes, and reblogs are welcome.
** Note to anyone that requests to join: I do look at your profile to see if you are indeed Black, post queer content, and make sure you seem fit to join the community. If you do not follow the guidelines or seem unfit, you will not be approved.

I am editing this episode and my gosh! I am slurring my words like a MF 🤣🤣🤣
Wine is part of the gimmick. That's why there's a wine bottle on the cover art. However, maybe I should limit the amount I drink during recording. My goodness! This episode is going to take forever to edit. Hopefully, it comes out well. If not, I'm sure y'all will tell me. 🤣🤣🤣

Episode 5 is out now!
Here is just a little snippet of the episode. If you want to hear the rest of it, go to Spotify...
...Apple Podcasts ...
... or wherever you listen to podcasts.
Also, I recorded episode 6 recently and will edit that later tonight so that will be ready for your ears on Tuesday, May 27th. I will most likely record episode 7 over the weekend.

OMG! I feel this on almost an ethereal level! When I started this podcast, I was hopeful and determined. Then, I got sick and realized that it is harder to keep people engaged even with a small following. I couldn't record for months, and I was feeling down. However, after a lot of rest, self reflection, and spending time with loved ones, I still wanted to try.
I don't know how this podcast will do. I do know one thing, though. I am not going to give up on it, and I started this journey with a few things in mind:
I want to express myself creatively and share that creative journey with others.
Create a space where people can also share their experiences along with mine. I love hearing about people's journeys and what got them where they are today! I hope that people will reach out to me in the near future and want to share their experiences on the podcast.
Fulfill a need within myself. I am a creative after all. I need to do something!
Potentially find financial freedom. Many podcasts have soared and become successful. I want to be one of those. Doing a dreadful 9-5 is hard, especially when they don't care about you and just want to profit from you regardless of your mental and physical well being. I DO NOT WANT TO DO THAT! If you like what I do, you can support me. If not, that is fine, too. But I WILL NOT thrive off of the suffering of people or mislead them.
Here is my podcast:
Please give it a listen! If you like it, GREAT! Please follow, subscribe, and continue to listen. It would mean the world to me. I give plenty updates on Tumblr as well as BlueSky. If not, that's okay, too. I understand.
I am about to record episode 6 and potentially episode 7. If you have any suggestions on what I should record next, please email me at [email protected] or DM me here on Tumblr or BlueSky.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and as always, comments, likes, and reblogs are welcome.
“The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”

If you couldn’t tell from the podcast cover art and the image above, I love wine, and I usually have a glass while I record an episode. It helps me relax and loosens the tongue. One wine that I always keep on hand is moscato. I know, I know! But it’s a simple, sweet one that’s good for sipping (or gulping down), and I often have it with a snack of some kind.
So, I wanted to take this time and share some random facts about this delicious wine:
National Moscato Day is May 9th
I missed it, but it’s all good.
Moscato wine was first recorded in the 14th century. Both Romans and ancient Greeks enjoyed the wine.
It’s known for having a consistently low ABV (that’s alcohol by volume), and it ranges anywhere between 5-10%.
Moscato comes from the Muscat Canelli grape and is grown in every wine region on earth.
I’m tempted to go to the store right now and buy a couple bottles to make up for National Moscato Day. If I do, I’ll be sure to share a picture or two. Also, if you have a wine you like, please let me know in the comments.
As always, thank you for taking the time to read this, and as always, comments, likes, and reblogs are welcome.
