Everything You’ve Been Told Is a Lie: Barry Brandon

Queer, creative powerhouse Barry Brandon found his way back to his heel-wearing, unshackled childhood self by embracing a radical truth: everything he’d been told was a lie. After surviving multiple heart surgeries before his mid twenties, Barry realized early on that he couldn’t live his life “safe,” watered-down, or stuck behind a desk. Instead he unlocks the portal to his most freed self through small moments of defiance that ultimately turn into life-defining choices. Tune in to this week’s episode to learn how Barry truly breaks out of the Matrix – refusing the victim-narrative, calling out the myths designed to keep us small, and not only taking freedom into his own hands, but creating it.

Barry’s gorgeous garment was made by designer Maciej Bohen.
