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.

Gaye Adegbalola: Blues, Identity & Liberation | Ep. 140
Our Black Gay Diaspora host Erick converses with Gaye Adegbalola — blues singer, guitarist, activist, educator, and co-founder of the legendary acoustic blues trio Saffire – The Uppity Blues Women. Gaye, a W.C. Handy Award winner and civil rights veteran, unpacks how blues music has always been a music of liberation — the “poor person’s psychiatrist.” This conversation weaves together race, class, gender, sexuality, and resilience. Gaye also reflects on her international touring career and her role as a griot preserving oral history. A rich, soulful, and eye-opening episode for blues lovers, LGBTQ+ history enthusiasts, and anyone who believes storytelling can change the world.
