I’m that quintessential Renaissance Guy: Radio Personality (“WYATT!” Podcast), Author (“NCTUA”), Journalist (HuffPo, Advocate, Wyattevans.com, etc).
It’s RRP & Me! Greetings! I’m Wyatt O’Brian It’s RRP & Me! Greetings! I’m Wyatt O’Brian Evans: author, journalist, and radio personality. Recently, I sat down with Eddie S. Pierce, the dynamic and innovative founder of Rainbow Room Publishing (RRP), for an in-depth and engrossing conversation. We discussed my journey as a literary talent and radio personality, my writing process, advice on how to become a successful author, the state of indie publishing, and my current novel, Nothing Can Tear Us Apart—SHATTERED! (Gay/SGL/Ethnic/Psychological Thriller), and its upcoming sequel. Kick yo’ shoes off, grab yo’ favorite drink and snack, and settle in for an enlightening, entertaining, and often electrifying conversation! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD7yfXnUQKk @firecreekentertainment @thebearprotagonist @iamcrisean #prideindexdotcom #blackLGBTQwriters #blackgayauthors #blackauthors #LGBTQBlackAuthors #TalentedblackGaycontentcreators #blacklgbtqcreatives #AfricanAmericanLGBTQauthors @lgbtcreator #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqia #lgbtq #pride #gay #instagay #gaypride #gaymen #gaystagram #SHATTEREDtheNovel #Wyattonair #thebearnetwork

Uganda’s First Openly Transgender Pastor Rebukes Uganda’s First Openly Transgender Pastor Rebukes Anti-LGBTQ+ Hate! WYATT! (#Wyattonair) serves up a special PRIDE Month edition by traveling across the oceans to Uganda to have an exclusive sit-down with Aggie Dennett Harmon ( @aggiedennettharmon ). This LGBTQ+ activist is the country’s first openly Transgender woman pastor. She goes into heartfelt detail about her journey as a transgender individual and the obstacles she has encountered while traveling that path. Later, Harmon reveals why and how she received God’s calling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMlooUCoZEs The pastor/activist states, “Whether behind a pulpit or a microphone, my mission is clear: to uplift sacred stories, reclaim faith, and radiate grace in the face of adversity.” To that end, Harmon has authored “Echoes of Grace: The Sacred Lives of Rural Trans and Queer Women,” which is scheduled for release soon. “Echoes of Grace” explores the intersections of faith, trans visibility, storytelling, and liberation. The volume also centers on how queer and trans people, especially in places like Uganda, are reclaiming spirituality as a tool of healing and resistance in the face of systemic oppression. We conduct a thorough examination of this ambitious and critical work. Next, Aggie and I dissect the impact of Uganda’s heinous Anti-Homosexuality Act of 2023, which restricts freedom of speech on LGBTQ+ topics and introduces harsher penalties for certain types of homosexual acts. This anti-LGBTQ+ law is one of the harshest in Africa. Aggie Dennett Harmon is a sterling and shining model of perseverance, resilience, and resistance!

Acclaimed Actor Reveals The Public Reaction To His Acclaimed Actor Reveals The Public Reaction To His HIV Disclosure! WYATT! ( #Wyattonair ) blasts back with a poignant and powerful episode! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQDPbKNryMM Our special guest is Jason Veasey (@Veaseyville), the acclaimed and award-winning actor of stage, film, and television. He chats about his prolific career, how to make it in the "biz"--and coming out publicly as living with HIV. Some of Veasey's stage credits include the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical A Strange Loop and the Broadway and national touring companies of The Lion King. Veasey has appeared in numerous TV and big-screen productions, including American Gangster, The Equalizer, and Only Murders in the Building; he was recognized for his multi-season arc as "Jonathan" in Only Murders, earning a 2024 SAG Award nomination. Veasey also stars in the just-released and well-received feature film Friendship. The actor kicks off our sit-down by discussing his diverse and varied body of work. We journey through "The Corridors of Time" to learn about this versatile performer's beginnings. He humorously explains how, as a kid, he discovered what fueled his fervent desire to become a performer. Later, he reveals the feelings he experienced after discovering he was HIV-positive. Afterward, he describes the surprising way he came out publicly as living with HIV. Next, we move on to Friendship, his new movie produced by A24 Films. Veasey has become the breakout star of the movie's trailer, which has gone semi-viral online. According to Poz.com, "Though the movie centers on the budding friendship between characters played by Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd, Veasey's velvety voice dominates the teaser. As the action unfolds, Veasey sings the beloved R&B classic My Boo, by Ghost Town DJ's. @firecreekentertainment @thebearprotagonist @iamcrisean #prideindexdotcom #blackLGBTQwriters #blackgayauthors #blackauthors #LGBTQBlackAuthors #TalentedblackGaycontentcreators #blacklgbtqcreatives #AfricanAmericanLGBTQauthors @lgbtcreator #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqia #lgbtq #pride #gay #instagay #gaypride #gaymen #gaystagram #SHATTEREDtheNovel #Wy

HIV-POZ COMIC KICKS "DUMBASSERY" IN THE A**!!! HIV-POZ COMIC KICKS "DUMBASSERY" IN THE A**!!! This new eppy of WYATT! ( #Wyattonair ) is entertaining, enticing, exciting…and Funny AF! Our guest is the popular and innovative standup comedian Andy Feds ( @andyfedscomedy )! A bold and bodacious performer, Andy is the first-ever openly HIV-positive-born comedian. He includes that experience in his act, focusing on HIV education, empowerment, and entertainment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN3iXS7vjWM My first Q is: What makes Andy Feds Funny As Fuck? His answer is "innerestin'," to say the least! We discuss his honest and illuminating interview with Positivelyaware.com. Feds stated, "I'm a heterosexual man. And because I'm a Black heterosexual man, when I tell people that, yes, I am a straight Black man living with HIV, a lot of people are like, 'He must be on the DL!' No, I just told you I'm a heterosexual man. What are you talking Andy contracted the virus from his Mom, who passed away at the age of 26; his grandmother raised him. He chats about his childhood and growing up with the virus. This unique talent, who discovered his love of standup comedy in college, reveals his first time on stage and what he has learned about himself and his craft. According to Feds, he always feared that girls would reject him if they knew his status. So, how did he ultimately overcome that fear of rejection? We find out. Next, we move on to the "dumbassery" with which Feds has had to contend. (I love that word!) "I think the dumbest thing that somebody ever asked me was, 'How are you still alive'?" His response: "You're talking to me right now, what do you mean? Yeah, I was born with this thing. But I've been taking my meds, I've been going to the doctor. I've been actively taking care of myself. @firecreekentertainment @thebearprotagonist @iamcrisean #prideindexdotcom #blackLGBTQwriters #blackgayauthors #blackauthors #LGBTQBlackAuthors #TalentedblackGaycontentcreators #blacklgbtqcreatives #AfricanAmericanLGBTQauthors @lgbtcreator #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqia #lgbtq #pride #gay #instagay #gaypride #gaymen #gaystagram #SHATTEREDtheNovel #Wyattonair #thebearnetwork

No, I just told you I'm a heterosexual man. What are you talking about?" The performer drills down on that. Feds also stated in that article, "I had been doing standup comedy about five years, and I was like, 'Hey, I'm gonna switch up my standup, folks, and teach y'all about my life with HIV'. I was shocked by all the support that I got." He continues, "Then when it came time for me to come up with new material and going out on stage, the first thing I said was, 'Hey, my name is Andy Feds. I'm the first-ever openly HIV-positive-born comedian'. And the whole room was like deer in headlights!" The comedian discloses why he shifted gears and fully describes the audience's reaction. Andy contracted the virus from his Mom, who passed away at the age of 26; his grandmother raised him. He chats about his childhood and growing up with the virus. @firecreekentertainment @thebearprotagonist @iamcrisean #prideindexdotcom #blackLGBTQwriters #blackgayauthors #blackauthors #LGBTQBlackAuthors #TalentedblackGaycontentcreators #blacklgbtqcreatives #AfricanAmericanLGBTQauthors @lgbtcreator #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqia #lgbtq #pride #gay #instagay #gaypride #gaymen #gaystagram #SHATTEREDtheNovel #Wyattonair

A J Lovelace: Filmmaker Blasting Thru The Stratosp A J Lovelace: Filmmaker Blasting Thru The Stratosphere! WYATT! ( #Wyattonair ) podcast is comin' right backatcha with a brand spankin' new episode that will enlighten and electrify you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hM_7NsscqJE Our special guest is A.J. Lovelace ( alovelacejr ), a "B & B" (Bold & Bodacious) multihyphenate: director, writer, actor, photographer, and cinematographer. Renowned publications, including Deadline and the New York Post, have reported on his impressive body of work, which has won Webby and Telly Awards. "I'm happiest when I'm creating; it puts air in my lungs," he begins. "There have been many times when I've thought about what it would be like to travel a more traditional path, and I can't picture it. I can always envision my future where the clarity around pursuing my creative path is certain. When I begin a new project, I push myself beyond the limits of the circumstances around me to elevate my craft." He digs deeper into those insightful and introspective statements. Soon, we travel down "The Corridors of Time" to examine Lovelace's beginnings. "The summer before I began high school, I surrendered to my need to be a storyteller through film and theater," he explains. "It was clear to me that using my endless imagination and well of emotionality to connect with others was my purpose. I later discovered my artistic ability could heal me and others who experienced it." Finally, the multihyphenate clues us in on his projects for the remainder of 2025. So, yo! This eppy is one mo' reason why WYATT! is "Eargasm Fo' Tha Grown Folks!" And ain't no doubt about it. @firecreekentertainment @thebearprotagonist @iamcrisean #prideindexdotcom #blackLGBTQwriters #blackgayauthors #blackauthors #LGBTQBlackAuthors #TalentedblackGaycontentcreators #blacklgbtqcreatives #AfricanAmericanLGBTQauthors @lgbtcreator #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqia #lgbtq #pride #gay #instagay #gaypride #gaymen #gaystagram #SHATTEREDtheNovel #Wyattonair #thebearnetwork

IT'S "SYLVIA APPRECIATION WEEK!” I recently IT'S "SYLVIA APPRECIATION WEEK!” I recently had the pleasure of interviewing SYLVIA TRAYMORE MORRISON for my "WYATT!" podcast. Sylvia is the first African-American female impressionist in the United States. Morrison is an entertainment multihyphenate: author, impressionist, comedian, and the first African American female associate writer for SNL (Saturday Night Live)! She has a myriad of accomplishments under her belt, which include replacing the legendary Richard Pryor in a hosting job, hosting "Roast of the Champ" for Muhammad Ali at the iconic Apollo Theater, and becoming the opening act for Whitney Houston's "The Greatest Love World Tour" in over 23 cities. The powerhouse talent also joined Mo'Nique's Las Vegas residency for five shows, during which comedian George Wallace spotted her in action and invited her to do his show. Sylvia has performed with other entertainers, including Jay Leno, David Letterman, Gladys Knight, Robin Williams, Jeffery Osbourne, Jerry Seinfeld, Chaka Khan, Rosie O'Donnell, and Dick Gregory. And to top it off, Redd Foxx was her first manager! Enjoy these clips! More to come later in the week. @firecreekentertainment @thebearprotagonist @iamcrisean #prideindexdotcom #blackLGBTQwriters #blackgayauthors #blackauthors #LGBTQBlackAuthors #TalentedblackGaycontentcreators #blacklgbtqcreatives #AfricanAmericanLGBTQauthors @lgbtcreator #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqia #lgbtq #pride #gay #instagay #gaypride #gaymen #gaystagram #SHATTEREDtheNovel #Wyattonair #thebearnetwork
That Black Force of Nature! Essex Hemphill. The That Black Force of Nature! Essex Hemphill. The groundbreaking, uber-talented, and openly Gay/SGL African-American poet and author—was truly a force of nature! Ahead of his time, Mr. Hemphill blazed the way for many Black Gay/SGL (same gender loving) authors. Unfortunately, he left this earth way too soon. Today is the birthday of this sensational scrivener. And I’m proud to say that “Es” was a friend and colleague. I pay homage to this phenom.

( #Wyattonair ) blasts back with a moving, must-see episode! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0FZCHYVI9I Our special guest is Michelle Elizabeth Brown ( @collectionsbymb ), a true media multihyphenate: award-winning LGBTQ+ activist, author, business consultant, public speaker, lecturer, and performance artist! I open the show by asking her to comment on the following quote: "Throughout her career, creative endeavors, and volunteer work, MICHELLE ELIZABETH BROWN has utilized her strengths to assist, inspire, and motivate people and organizations to be the best they can be. Mixed with her desire to help others, she also finds her dedication to uplifting those often left on the fringe of society: women, people of color, the LGBTQ community." Her detailed answer is proof that Brown is a force of nature. She shares her poignant and powerful coming-out process as we walk through the Corridors of Time to learn about the trailblazer's beginnings. Next, we discover what motivated Brown to travel the path of activism—and why it continues to burn so profoundly inside, nurturing her soul. The "media goddess" gives us the full monty about "Collections by Michelle Brown," her national weekly internet radio program, and her books, "Wild Fruit Hidden in Open Spaces: Musings in Prose and Poetry" and "3 Layers and a Brassiere." Finally, the groundbreaker/innovator advises how LGBTQ+ folks--particularly Blacks and POCs--can continue our activism, stay engaged, and survive and thrive.
