First post in nearly 3 years lol, where does the time go? Mental health has been a hot topic in the last few years so I want to speak on one of my experiences off line.In the pandemic I got into a relationship with someone that ticked all the boxes or so I thought.

Man of the week goes to British - Ghanaian actor Paapa Essiedu. You can find him in the BBC/HBO show I May Destroy You and in Gangs Of London. Great actor, easy on the eye and his role as Kwame is elevating black queer visibility and pushing the culture forward.

Man of the week goes to Welsh actor Lloyd Everitt. Even though Lloyd doesn't identify as gay, he has had major TV roles tackling these types of characters.

A new show hit the FX channel in the States earlier this year called Pose.

What really came through, was how

Hey guys, hope everyone is good. I've been gone waay too long. Part of it has been writer's block, part of it has been selling my soul to the corporate world to allow me to have the means and access to experiences that inspire my posts and part of it has just been living life. Fortunately, the thankless hard work over the years has meant that I have able to reclaim my time for a while. I

Outness levels have always been an interesting subject for me. Being black and African where it is drilled into from a young age that from an African / Caribbean mentality POV, having guys as your preference will not be tolerated. It will also conjure up feelings of repulsion and digust within family members who hold this view due to the images they associate with gay people. This
