I suddenly realized I need to accomplish something I've always wanted to do halfway through 2020. Podcasting came to mind; it's something I've wanted to do for a long time. Then one day, inspiration struck, and I sought opinions on a possible term, and #AnythingBAKS was created. With the goal of sharing tales and creating a forum for discussion on a certain subject.

I intend to make this one LGBT-centric and truly unravel stories of people - LGBTQIA and kindreds, as well as allies for inclusiveness. I started with one episode and worked my way up through seasons, and I'm already on the Anniversary episode! Yes, I still can't believe I've made it this far! It was a learning experience for me, and I'm grateful that my visitors were able to express feelings they didn't think they could— just #Bakstory!

Our 50th episode celebrates the 1st anniversary of Bakstory. And just as timely as October is Mental Health Awareness Month— a global campaign to promote mental health awareness. Listen to our conversation with April Q ( @msapriljaneq ) and Yani Q ( @yaniyow ). Happy Anniversary AnythingBAKS #Bakstory!
