Now Streaming: Episode 1 — Why I Left LA to Become a Digital Nomad (6-Year Journey)
On October 1, 2019, I boarded a plane to Stockholm, Sweden, trading LA for the world — and this is where the story begins.
In Episode 1 of my exclusive 10-part Tier 2 series, I’m pulling back the curtain on what led me to leave Los Angeles behind and embrace life as an international digital nomad. From who I was before the leap to the moment everything changed, and to the fears, excitement, and cultural insights that shaped me—this one sets the tone for everything that follows.

Black Arthouse Cinema & The Art of Intimacy | Ep. 139
Our Black Gay Diaspora host Erick speaks with independent filmmaker, writer, director, and showrunner Lazarus X to explore the power of Black queer storytelling in arthouse cinema.
With over two decades of experience, Lazarus X discusses his journey as an auteur, from his early days in the web series movement to creating internationally filmed productions like the erotic drama Guap, set in Naples, Italy, and the critically intimate series A Beautiful Cruel Thing. He unpacks why authentic representation still falls short despite milestones like the 2016 film Moonlight and how arthouse cinema can transform how Black audiences see themselves.
Lazarus X also shares his passion for capturing intimacy, his exploration of Afrofuturism, and his vision for expanding Black storytelling to global stages. A must for fans of independent filmmaking, Black LGBTQ+ culture, and authentic creative expression.
