If you’ve listened to any guest episode of Dem Bois Podcast, you’ve heard me ask the question, “how did your name choose you?” I believe that our names choose us for a reason and I enjoy learning about these journeys from my guests. And, today you’ll get to hear another Dem Bois first: the beautiful village naming process for Kaneon Hammock. In this episode we also talk about why and how they are fighting generational curses, advice for living in truth and being authentic, and much more.

The acceptance he felt from his mother - 16:08
Advice for anyone wanting to transition - 24:43
