wherein, this one we welcome my Uncle David to the show. we've been foreshadowing and looking forward to this one. this episode is about family lore, memory keeping, role models, encyclopedias, and pheasant feathers. don't wait, talk to your elders.

wherein, this one we welcome back the homie Cameron Gray. Cam reached out because he needed to process some grief. i'm honored that he would choose me as a friend and BGWIO as a space to process the weight of loss. we ring the bell for Bama Gray and pray her travels are consecrated, the ancestors' embrace is warm, and God's peace prevails. àṣẹ.
peace ya'll

wherein, this one is just me again. i wanted to talk with my Uncle Dave, but he couldn't make it (yet). so, instead, i talked about what my Uncle has taught me—through instruction, example, and caveat. this is about memory, caution, and those people who teach us where to go—even when they don't realize it.

Wherein, this one i fly solo again. i'm at the beginning of a retreat into myself. a path to self-love and self-parenting. sunrises over epiphanies. lucid dreams. the gravity of non-metabolized sadness. i hope you gain something from this work.

peace y'all ❤️🖤💚

Wherein, this one i have the pleasure of welcoming my first born to the show. we start with corn sweat and talk about all the things we are wont to talk about as two scatterbrained individuals. he is my mirror, a bright shining reflection. this caps the Bros series.

peace y'all

this one is the second episode in a series of three episodes, wherein i chop it up with my suns. BGWIO had the pleasure of welcoming the middlest, Canaan, this time. he is a performing artist, thespian, musician, and singer. we riffed on making art, absorbing stinging critique, and "dysregulation of expectations." tune in to figure out wth that means.
guest: Canaan @canaanrofficial
