Finding Home: The Journey of a Black, Gay, Southern, Pastor

Episode Summary

This is the story of Mashaun Simon, a Black, Gay, Southern, Pastor. After he turned his back on all organized religion, Simon finally discovered that love, true love, isn’t constrained by the boundaries of religion, sexual orientation, or race.

Episode Notes

The esteemed writer, podcast host, pastor, and antiracism activist shares his inspiring story of finding a community that nurtures, supports, and loves him unconditionally. Some golden takeaways from my conversation with Mashaun include

• Once you a community that supports and nurtures you - stay there!
• Don’t be afraid to make your own choices, even when it’s uncomfortable. Especially when it’s uncomfortable!
• Sharing your wins is a great way to motivate and inspire others, especially those who look up to you and support you.
• Your family history does not define you. You have the power to define yourself!
