Being Seen is a new podcast that tackles the struggles, accomplishments, and unique intersectionality of queer black men.

On December 1st, Being Seen will launch an episode to coincide with World AIDS Day that will address the stigma and shame many in the LGBTQ community face because of the AIDS crisis.
The episode will include guests like Emil Wilbekin, who founded the organization, Native Son, which seeks to elevate the voices of queer black men and help bring equality. The episode will also feature black artists Tboy and Ant wan.
Previous episodes of the podcast have touched on many issues that the LGBTQ community struggles with, like faith, intimacy, and love.
