I’m that quintessential Renaissance Guy: Radio Personality (“WYATT!” Podcast), Author (“NCTUA”), Journalist (HuffPo, Advocate, Wyattevans.com, etc).

Expert Reveals EXACTLY Why SURVIVAL Isn't Enough! Expert Reveals EXACTLY Why SURVIVAL Isn't Enough!

  The new episode of WYATT! ( #Wyattonair ) explores a critical issue: Black men taking charge of their health to live fuller, more productive, and happier lives! Therefore, survival ISN'T enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OBLhR4Aqzo

  Our special guest is Anthony Carter: author, educator, and award-winning filmmaker. Carter is also a sought-after speaker and coach working at the intersection of health, mindset, and community. 

  We delve into two significant aspects of his extensive resume: his role as the founder of the new Plant Powered Brothers movement and his authorship of "When Survival Isn't Enough."

  Plant Powered Brothers is a community initiative that empowers Black men aged 40-60 to take charge of their health and live medication-free. Anthony discusses his personal journey that compelled him to create this movement and how his new book, "When Survival Isn't Enough," is linked to and intertwined with it. And he reveals why experts agree that a plant-based diet can indeed make you healthier and combat stress.

  So, get ready for an enlightening and intriguing new installment of WYATT!

  And always remember: WYATT! is ab-so-lute-ly "Eargasm Fo' Tha Grown Folks!"

Breon Arzell: Mr. Authentic Representation! The Breon Arzell: Mr. Authentic Representation!

  The WYATT! Podcast ( #Wyattonair ) blasts back with special guest Breon Arzell ( @breonarzell ), a bold and bodacious multihyphenate: actor, director, choreographer, playwright, and teaching artist.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0aMzuMPdOk

  We begin our engaging conversation with a quote from Mr. Arzell: "As a visionary and artist, I love to breathe new life into established works, especially those honoring and telling the stories and experiences of my ancestors and the African-American community. Infusing various styles and genres into my work, I wish to inspire dialogue, highlight the commonalities of the human condition, and how the past is intertwined with, and informs, the present. Within my work, there's always movement, always story, always the heart song of humanity." We dig deeper.

  Next, we travel down "The Corridors of Time" to examine his beginnings. "Early on, I developed an affinity for movement. I grew up during the height of the MTV music video era, which was characterized by elaborate choreography," Breon states. "I was that kid who was always dancing in front of the TV, mimicking the choreography of Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Tina Landon, Paula Abdul, and more." 

  Then we jump forward to learn how he developed into a professional creative and performer. He provides full details on two significant recent productions in which he was involved: The Color Purple and The Fly Honey Show. The exceptional talent also reveals how winning multiple Jeff Awards has impacted his career. These prestigious accolades are awarded to theatre arts produced in the Chicago area. 

  Finally, he explains why representing Black and/or LGBTQ+-centered stories is critical to him. 

  So, get ready for yet another compelling and invigorating edition of WYATT! 

  And always remember: WYATT! is ab-so-lute-ly "Eargasm Fo' Tha Grown Folks!"

After Being “SHATTERED!”, Get “RUTHLESS!” I After Being “SHATTERED!”, Get “RUTHLESS!”

 

  I had the distinct pleasure of being interviewed by Eddie Pierce, Jr., an author and founder of Rainbow Room Publishing (RRP), for his podcast, “RRP Live!” INTRODUCING WYATT O’BRIAN EVANS @WyattOutLoud

Here is Mr. Pierce, Jr.’s review of “SHATTERED!”, the latest installment in the “Nothing Can Tear Us Apart” series: 

 “I’m finding “Nothing Can Tear Us Apart—SHATTERED!” to be quick in pacing, wit-filled, impactful, short, and easily digestible chapters. From the visceral, shocking, and gripping search and rescue during a brutal East Coast blizzard in the opening scene, SHATTERED! arrests the readers’ attention while seizing their senses. 

 “This ‘SHATTERED!’ tale [is] centered around the lives and relationship between the main characters Wesley (Wes), the über successful media mogul, and Antonio (‘Tonio), the enterprising and impeccably equipped employee who secures the former’s body and wins his heart…

 “Together, the dynamic duo encounters challenges. Coupled with numerous other commonly explored, universal themes, Evans paints a realistic picture of people suffering wounds to their skin and psyche, a reality that almost anyone can relate to. 

 “After this extensive and highly satisfying read, I realized the need for three things: a smoke, a shot, and a sit down with the author IN THAT ORDER!”

  Thanks, Eddie! Now, get ready for “RUTHLESS!”, the sequel, which drops in mid-August! More details forthcoming.

Just How “RUTHLESS!” Can You Get? Greetings, Just How “RUTHLESS!” Can You Get?

 

  Greetings, Y’all! I’m proud to announce that I just signed a publishing deal with Rainbow Advocacy Press to publish my upcoming novel, “RUTHLESS!”, the new installment in my “Nothing Can Tear Us Apart” (NCTUA) series (Gay/Ethnic/Psychological Thriller). The release date for “RUTHLESS!” is Tuesday, August 18, 2026. “SHATTERED!” is the current installment in the “NCTUA” series. 

  Rainbow Advocacy Press is a global publisher of books, podcasts, and Substack content. 

 “Nothing Can Tear Us Apart—SHATTERED!” is the continuing saga of mega-celeb Wesley Laurence Kelly and his chief of security, Antonio Miguel Rios, Jr., who valiantly struggle against the odds to keep their monogamous relationship alive! The couple must confront the aftermath of Intimate Partner Violence and childhood sexual abuse, along with Wes transforming into a devious and potentially deadly split personality as a result. And thrown into the toxic mix are the homophobe son Wes never knew existed, and the vindictive, vicious drug lord who has a major score to settle. Can Wesley and Antonio eventually proclaim Nothing Can Tear Us Apart? Visit www.wyattevans.com/shattered/ 

  Both “SHATTERED!” and its upcoming sequel “RUTHLESS!” are enthralling, exhilarating, and explosive! They are compelling, sexually charged thrill rides full of cliffhangers that will keep you on the edge of your seats and guessing until the very end! All the “dee-li-cious-ly” bawdy, bold, and bodacious hallmarks that readers come to expect from the “Nothing Can Tear Us Apart” series are front and center.

  Ready? ‘Cause I am! The official “RUTHLESS!” cover art and more details to come!

WYATT! ( #Wyattonair ) returns with one helluva ha WYATT! ( #Wyattonair ) returns with one helluva hawt and hilarious eppy! 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuQXnACF020

  Our special guest is Armani Walton ( @armanijavonwalton ), a popular LGBTQ+ social media influencer, digital content creator, and storyteller. I begin our conversation by asking him a three-part "Q" (question): "What does being a social media influencer mean to you? What's your mission? What separates you from the rest of the pack?" His responses are thoughtful and engaging.
 We then learn about this multihyphenate's beginnings:  while in high school, Armani got his start in entertainment on a teen talk show called The Bridge. He discusses how that experience helped shape him.

  We fast forward. According to the talented creative, on the day President Obama legalized gay marriage, he came out on Instagram—and the declaration went viral! He describes the range of reactions from family, friends, and the public, and how it all impacted him.

  As a result, Armani began securing brand deals with companies such as Fashion Nova, Six Silk, and Rockstar Denim. He became one of the first openly gay/SGL influencers on that social media platform.

  Next, we slide into him being a "Bottom Advocate." What exactly does that mean? Armani spills the tea, and it's quite dee-li-cious!

  And finally, we reveal what a "ShaBang Thang" is! It’s real and raw, Y’all.

  Get ready for another tempting, tantalizing, and tasty edition of WYATT!

  This is another reason that WYATT! is "Eargasm Fo' Tha Grown Folks!"

with Omary Baajun, ( @baajun_poet ), the award-winning trans woman poet, storyteller, and human rights defender from Tanzania.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx7kpQT6G2s

  According to Baajun, “I turn art and storytelling into advocacy, carving spaces where the invisible are seen, and the unheard are amplified,” which is the starting point of our interview. The creative accomplished just that with their most recent poetry collection titled Olives, Watermelon & Kufiyyeh. We delve into the volume, which is receiving rave reviews.

  We move on to We’re Not Criminals, Baajun’s trilogy of poetry short films that boldly call for dignity, visibility, and equal rights for those pushed to the margins. We’re Not Criminals won “Best Short Film Series” at the 2025 Our Pride Short Film Festival. Rainbow Advocacy, a LGBTQ+ civil rights, social action, and advocacy nonprofit organization, produced the film fest. And finally, this warrior provides the full monty about how they are continuing to fight the good fight to protect and preserve LGBTQ+ rights.
