Relatively Normal

Have you missed me? I have definitely missed all of you. But, I am back and I have a great show and a great guest for you.

In this episode, I speak with Samaad Wes Keys, a gay black man, about his experiences growing up and navigating society.

Samad shares how he felt different from a young age and how he used wit as a defense mechanism. He discusses the pressure to excel and represent black men in a society that often has higher expectations for them. Dr. Keys also talks about the lack of representation of gay black men in the media and the challenges he faced in society. Despite these challenges, Samaad emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and living authentically.

During the show, Samaad Wes Keys discusses the challenges he faced with religion and acceptance and shares how he struggled to find a spiritual refuge due to the lack of acceptance in certain religious communities.

Samaad offers advice to young black men who are questioning their identity, emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance and defining oneself. He encourages individuals to embrace their differences and tap into their unique skills. We also learned about Samaad's podcast, 'A Sip With Samad,' where he explores various topics and shares his perspectives.
