“Black Bearded Boy” (NSFW) is authored by Michael, a New Orleans
native currently pursuing a career as an advocate for the rights of
the LGBTQI community, People of Color, and those impacted by HIV/AIDS
and mental health disorders. “Black Bearded Boy” will discuss my
experiences with healthy expressions of sexuality and positive body
image. I hope to empower readers to take control of their own sexual
health, mental health, and self-esteem.
