I’ve been QueerEyed!!! Me and Karamo Brown have done a podcast and it was magic. Karamo is a fantastic psychotherapist, commentator and counsellor. We spoke about Karamo’s journey and the many challenges he has faced and overcome, how he and the Fab 5 were chosen for Queer Eye, how to maintain healthy relationships with others and yourself and he did a little bit of therapy on me too! Please enjoy and let us know what you thought of it on social media.

episode 217: #217 What’s Really Going on with Privilege and Class? (with John Barnes)
This week I spoke with a very interesting guest with a very interesting perspective on a topic that can be difficult to discuss. John Barnes is a former footballer and author of The Uncomfortable Truth About Racism. He was born and raised in Jamaica and is the son of a military officer. He later moved to England and became one of the best football players of his time. In this conversation John talks about how class is ignored when we talk about problems of race and “racial incidents.” He thinks we need to stop showcasing elite people as a sign of progress while we simultaneously continue to ignore people who are lost in poverty and who don’t benefit from things like white privilege, the patriarchy, and heteronormativity. The issues are more complex, and by vilifying those who are worse off in society we are creating more division. He also gives his thoughts on cancel culture and how he sees real change happening. It’s an incredibly provocative and fascinating episode. Let me know what you think.
