MEMOIRS
My memoir is a raw, unfiltered journey through the intersection of identity and activism. As a 70-year-old Black gay man, I have spent decades navigating the complexities of a world that often demands silence. This collection of stories is my attempt to reclaim that voice, sharing the intimate details of my travels, the courage of my interviews, and the profound lessons learned from the people I have met along the way.
It is a testament to the power of storytelling as a form of resistance and connection. By weaving together my experiences as a DJ, filmmaker, and storyteller, I create a narrative that is both personal and universal. This is not just a book; it is a living archive of a life lived with intention and a commitment to sharing the truth with the next generation.
