Welcome to season 2 of I NEED MORE GAY FRIEDNS!! I'm so stoked for this debut guest. I'm a genuine fangirl of this guest, and was deep into her lyrical lore long before I asked for the honor of this interview. I get the gay pleasure of sharing my Season 2 premiere episode with the insanely talented, Caroline Kingsbury. She's a pop/rock singer songwriter on the rise. She's also a fellow queer who was traumatized by her experiences growing up in a religious environment. We both bond and commiserate over that shared trauma, while laughing about the hard truths and long-term impact those early beliefs shaped our identity. We go deep into the songwriting process behind her album "Heaven's Just A Flight", the loss of her brother, surviving covid, and songwriting with some of pop's top producers. She's candid, she's talented, and she's learning to allow herself the experience of joy. She's Caroline Kingsbury and you should check out her smash hits "Kissing Someone Else" and "Take My Phone Away" . She's also on tour so you should definitely find out if she's coming to a city near you. I've seen her perform live and I can very confidently say, you will be very happy that you did.
In this episode I sit down with poet, activist and actor Yazmin Monet Watkins. I have been a fan of her work for almost 15 years when I first discovered her performance poetry on Youtube in college. Flash forward a few years and fate would bring us together in an acting class in Los Angeles. For the last 10 years I've known Yaz personally and had the privilege to call her friend.
We cover a lot in this episode, the grief that comes as a result of loss, rediscovering how to find joy, being bisexual in a world that doesn't make a lot of space for you, and what it means to be an artist and and activist.
Thank you Yazmin for this conversation, and thank you listener for tuning in.
This episode I sit down with the incredible actress Shylo Shaner, the star of BETs TWENTIES. We talk everything from adoption, lesbian herstory, to BTS from her time working as a series regular on TWENTIES.
In Episode 3, I had an amazing time talking with Psychotherapist Dr. Matthew Brinkley. @dr.brinkley We talked about everything from open relationships, to rave culture, and his work using transformative medical Psychedelics in his therapeutic practice.
He also talks about his new show “SISSY THAT PSYCHE” coming out this fall on @wowpresentsplus
Thank you @dr.brinkley for being so transparent, and full of joy. I loved your insights and can’t wait to hit that underground rave with you!
Welcome to the second episode of the “I Need More Gay Friends Podcast”! In this episode I interview actor David Castillo. We immediately found how much our stories have in common, from growing up in very conservative religious homes, to living life as a closeted theater kid, and even dating in LA. He has one of the most insane coming out stories and was so open and transparent through our entire conversation. I’m so grateful to say, I have a new gay friend. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed making it. As always, thank you for listening.
Welcome to the debut episode of the "I NEED MORE GAY FRIENDS" Podcast. Today I interview rapper, actor, producer, writer and future EGOT hopeful, Suni MF. She is a Los Angeles based rapper with a huge personality and a catalogue of certifiable bangers.

We had an amazing discussion and covered everything from love, loss, family, music, entertainment, and what it means to leave behind a legacy. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it and fall in love with the dynamic, incredible, humble and talented, SUNI MF!!!
