The Grindr Survivr Podcast

Guy Anthony is an amazing rapper, poet and activist, who runs the charity Black, Gifted and Whole. When he's not demonstrating his lyrical genius, he's advocating for queer people of color and people living with HIV. His journey has been a difficult one, but he describes how he uses rap and poetry to channel his emotions when dealing with his bipolar disorder. He also says that being diagnosed with HIV was the wake up call he needed to turn his life around and achieve the success he has earned today.

More Episodes

In the last podcast, I was discussing my plans for a potential Grindr Survivr TV comedy.  But recently, I adapted the script into a short play, and I entered it in to The Upsetters open theater contest, and I am pleased to announce my play was selected!  Five plays were chosen out of 167 submissions.  

It's a huge honor, and it will be performed live on February 29th.  If you're based in London, come on down to the Bunker Theater for the Upsetters theatrical festival.  There's a 4pm showing and a 7:30pm showing.
