#pride2021
In June, we celebrate Pride Month. I am so grateful that my friend Jamila Bryant was my guest to talk about her life. During our conversation, Jamila had several great points to help both parents and kids about her experience coming out to her family.
Love your kids unconditionally. Support your kids. Educate yourself as a parent.
We also talk about Jamila's only nephew Dwon Fields Jr "DJ" who was shot and killed on March 5, 2021.

I hope you will gain new knowledge and share this episode with other families who might need this information.
I failed to mention one thing about the recording of this episode. Otis was chewing on a bone in my office, and those are the sounds you will hear in the background.
