Keeping It Gay host, Brian, is joined by Narik Hernandez to talk about the healing journey that follows after a heartbreak, break up, and in some cases after calling off an engagement. The conversation begins by understanding Narik’s timeline with his former fiance: everything from how they met, the loved they shared, why things ended, and the healing journey Narik is embarking on.
