In one of our most heartfelt conversations yet, Harry speaks with influential artist and educator Harry Waters Jr., who reflects on a life shaped by purpose, vulnerability, and community. From his role in the cult classic, Back to the Future, to his groundbreaking work in theater and academia, Harry Waters Jr. shares stories that explore the intersections of Blackness, queerness, grief, joy, and the arts.
We discuss the impact of the AIDS crisis, the evolution of LGBTQ+ spaces, and the transformative power of storytelling to foster connection and care. With tenderness and humor, Harry Waters Jr. speaks about creating spaces like Harry’s Hangout, where Black queer men can gather, heal, and celebrate one another. This conversation serves as a moving tribute to resilience, intimacy, and the freedom that comes when we live our stories out loud.
