Everyone starts somewhere, and BGLK has a whole story.
In 2014, I decided to finally take the plunge on a blog idea I had. And this year I sat down to talk about what beginning that was like. Everything you see here, started with an iPhone 6+ and my determination to make it so that Black people looking to learn more about ADHD had a resource that touched on the cultural element of living with ADHD.
And that made for a lot of wonderful moments. Lots of tears, lots of laughter, and lots of work!

In this episode, Inger Shaye Colzie and I explore the unexpected, and how to prepare for the potential disruptions that the unexpected can bring.

But we had to go get Po (my dog) from Pennsylvania. So off we went; me, Kini (who doubles as my producer and my life partner), and her son.So we decided to record it all.

āItās not easy being me, because Iām entirely not me yet. āCause Iām not really sure who I am, because becoming me is going to take a while. Iām transitioning. Not from one town to another, not from one job to another. I wish it was that easy. Iām transitioning from a woman to a man.ā
These are the vulnerable words Sunnie shares with us in the trailer for his new TV show, Thim, a show that chronicles Sunnieās journey into life as a Black man.
Iāve had the pleasure of seeing a private screening of the pilot episode and I assure you, it is like nothing you have ever seen before.
