#5 - You are NOT alone with Chris Smith

Beau my God

Join Beau Bradley (They/Them/he/him) and special guest, Howard University PhD Student, and published expert on sexuality and non monogamy, Chris Smith (they/them/omni), as they discuss the intertwined nature of queerness and blackness, along with their personal journey with non monogamy. Chris explains the three main types of non monogamy, their experience as a queer child in a conservative black household and how everything they do is routed in love, caring, and respect. Other things covered in this episode include backwashing, cheating, and why it is imperative to be your own primary partner. Join along in this fascinating conversation where Chris's wisdom and knowledge can help us all learn to be more caring and accepting. In a world where at least 39% of the queer population in America identify as BIPOC, where better to learn then from the source! Don't forget to like, subscribe and leave a review! Can't wait to hear what you all have to say!
This episode contains minimal cursing, but I refuse to rate it as "explicit," because that does not apply to this episode.
