In this powerful and heartfelt episode, I sit down with, Ian L. Haddock, a true trailblazer from Houston, Texas; Founder and Executive Director of The Normal Anomaly. With raw honesty and unwavering courage, he opens up about his childhood, the moment he shared his truth with his family, and the life-changing experience of becoming unhoused as a teenager.

Through it all, he emerged not only as a survivor but as a visionary. Today, he leads a nonprofit dedicated to amplifying Black queer voices and shifting narratives around identity, equity, and resilience. Tune in as we explore how one person’s truth can become a lifeline for others — and how living authentically can create space for liberation, community, and impact.
