I never really thought of myself as being courageous. I’ve done courageous things in the past, but it wasn’t until recently that I thought about the courage it took to stand in my truth and do what made me happy. In this episode of Dem Bois Podcast, I answer a question from Mark in Atlanta, and talk about how I found that courage. I also share definitions and quotes about courage, how courage has shown up in my life, and how music has helped me be courageous!
