The Wildest Thing You've Found In Someone's House! | Ep 287 | ShxtsnGigs Podcast

[@MaggieAAdams]

Thank you James. Your Rem flowers spoke to me. Growing up mixed, adopted by an all white family in a majority black community. Having to hide what you like is rough. When you find that friend that you can just be yourself with, it's real. This goes out to all the friends that let you be you, you save our lives!

[@pmccray551]

The visual of James' eyes in a locked room, full of chickens, with no way out 😂😅😅😂 did me in. 😭🤣😂😭

[@ameliavee4009]

The serious wide eyes, internal screams😂

[@jazisajoke8688]

i feel james’ story about finally feeling comfortable in your interests when you’re around black people who don’t judge or make fun of the things you like for being “white”

[@breemapry]

Your interests are your interests. Liking certain things shouldn’t have a racial stereotype on it. It’s truly sad that that is something that happens on the reg. Keep loving what you love babe!

[@caitlinwhite1955]

It’s so sad to me that things are considered “black” or “white” in the UK. Here in South Africa, you do you! No matter your colour, race, beliefs or religions. 🙏🏼

Am shocked that he is shocked cause African parents are insanely strict,considering he is Nigerian

[@staincodm]

Bruh he was a victim

[@marissabryan3521]

I kinda think James needed strictness because without it he would wild .. I would like James brother stories about mom and dad because James was his dad favourite but his brother was his mom favourite

[@kenciabernard4824]

I absolutely love the way James loves his boys. The love these guys have for each other and feel so comfortable expressing it so freely is beautiful.

[@mimib731]

James’ moment to give Rem his flowers touched my heart. James isn’t the only person with those sentiments who are or once were holding back parts of themselves to fit in. I’m so happy James is comfortable expressing himself fully now. It definitely attributes to his success! And shout out to friends like Rem who empower others to be themselves just by being true to who they are regardless of who’s watching. Love, love, love this ❤

[@esthernwosu7406]

[@metamorphosis_x]

I'm soooo curious to see what they look like lol. I thought it was just me 😅

[@dawnsherie]

Awee, his flowers to Rem 🥺 he gave him a safe place to finally be himself! I freaking love that for James. I totally could relate with always being called “whitewashed” or “you speak proper for a black girl” fucks up your psyche and makes it hard to just be yourself. Thankfully over time, I found my way, found my people and accepted myself! I wish that for anyone struggling with accepting of yourself, to find peace and clarity and love for yourself 💜

[@MaggieAAdams]

You know your parents were strict when you are afraid to talk about your childhood because people might think it was abuse lol 😅

That whole segment about Rem touched home. Because even though I'm Nigerian American I was always around ppl who never talked about anything I was interested in like amine, rock/ alternative music, etc. I didn't fully be myself until I went to college and found fellow blerds like myself, even bigger blerds than me. So ppl like Rem are much appreciated and needed.

Omg you could've lost your damn foot had it gotten infected 😑

[@prettyinpinky5937]

My strict African dad was very loving. Being strict or African have zero to do with lacking empathy. I’ve been pierced by a stick after being told to stop running with it. My dad was freaking out more than me, or the time I had an action figure stuck up my nose!

May everyone have a friend like James ❤ I can definitely relate to what James is saying. Growing up I was too “white” for the black kids just because my interests didn’t fit the stereotype type of “being black”. I used to skateboard, my music was full of alternative, metal, punk, and my outfits? Yeah, yeeeeeaaaaah dads from England, moms from St. Kitts but I was born in Bronx, NY and so it was difficult growing up
