This week on Meet My Friends, I’m joined by someone who truly embodies the spirit of Pride: the one and only Lord Hammer. In this powerful conversation, Lord Hammer opens up about his journey through addiction, finding sobriety, and discovering a deep sense of purpose through the LGBTQ+ West Hollywood Dodgeball League. What began as a community rec sport became the foundation for a personal transformation — one that led him to embrace his inner hero and share that power with others. We talk about identity, queer joy, survival, and the lifesaving impact of chosen family. Lord Hammer doesn’t just represent Pride — he represents community, connection, and courage. Whether you're in recovery, finding your place in the LGBTQ+ world, or just need a reminder that it's never too late to step into your power, this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen Now to Hear About: Addiction & sobriety within the queer community The life-changing impact of community sports like dodgeball How Lord Hammer created his alter ego and what it means Embracing queer heroism — on and off the court Pride Month reflections, resilience, and the power of showing up ✨ FOLLOW US:Host: @filmakeher Guest: @LordHammer14Podcast: Meet My Friends 🗓️ New episodes drop every week — subscribe, share, and celebrate queer voices with us all month long!
