The T Spot, with Topher Taylor

To Celebrate National Coming Out Day, we've decided to re-release our episode: Coming Out/Life in The Closet recorded almost two years ago now. In this episode, we discuss coming out, living and conducting relationships while in the closet, discuss the concept of coming out to yourself and give advice to anyone struggling. It's an emotional one, and definitely hard to listen back to after all this time- but it's well worth it Follow Black Boy Joy on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blackboyjoypodcast/ Please send any enquiries to blackboyjoypodcast@gmail.com
