Speak On It with Brian

[@4everkevin]

Brian has no idea how many people he has touched with his testimony just being so open and transparent about his struggles will help so many people. I was crying so hard watching this as I can relate to his story as I was going through the same struggles and I’m currently in recovery since the new year I’ve been clean and I thank God for saving me!!! 💯

[@kjdnyhmghfvb]

When Brian said "What's going on with the sun room, it looks like a funeral home." I said I found my favorite. And to know that he went through a such a storm, and is still this Positive, makes him even more Endearing.

[@10ebutler]

I absolutely appreciate seeing no division between people with different preference and identities. Sometimes I feel like TV just keeps the walls up that separates groups rather than bringing them together, and what makes it better is that is dispels homophobia in the black community. Not to say hemophobia isn't there, but this show helps normalize that community can be accepting and full of love. I love it Kandi! You are a forerunner!
