In this episode of The Art of Letting Go, I’m joined by my friend and collaborator DDM (aka Manny), a genre-defying artist who’s built his own creative universe rooted in authenticity, boldness, and evolution. We talk about his journey from battle rap to redefining queer artistry in hip-hop, navigating identity, and what it means to measure success on your own terms.

I also reflect on my return to the basketball court at a recent gay tournament, what it taught me about presence and self-acceptance, and why we have to meet ourselves where we are.

This episode is for anyone learning to own their story—on the court, on the mic, and in life.
