Got thoughts, feedback, or questions? We’d love to hear from you—send us an email.

In this episode of The Art of Letting Go, I’m joined by my friend and collaborator DDM (aka Manny), a genre-defying artist who’s built his own creative universe rooted in authenticity, boldness, and evolution. We talk about his journey from battle rap to redefining queer artistry in hip-hop, navigating identity, and what it means to measure success on your own terms.

I also reflect on my return to the basketball court at a recent gay tournament, what it taught me about presence and self-acceptance, and why we have to meet ourselves where we are.

This episode is for anyone learning to own their story—on the court, on the mic, and in life.
