Ugly Brown Boy ·

2025/11/04

Bevy Smith said it - It Gets Greater Later Getting older doesn’t mean getting old for some of us So much of how you feel can be shaped by the words you tell yourself, making life miserable, or creating good change for yourself

2025/10/28

“Dress your age”“You should know better at your age” Enough with the condescending Shit. What does that even mean?? Dress how you want… act how you want… your age has nothing to do with it It’s just another way for people to show their prejudice and discrimination towards older people That’s why I’ll always redirect the conversation when it comes to my age

13: Friends and Politics

Ugly Brown Boy ·

2025/09/23

Friends and PoliticsI used to avoid talking about politics with friends Mainly because I stayed out of it altogether and I didn’t really have a foundation of opinions That changed about 10 years ago, when for good and for bad, I woke the fuck up and opened my eyes Part of that awakening was realizing which friends and family have viewpoints that didn’t only align with mine, but were a danger to my future And then I started to clean house Not everyone can have access to me UGLY BROWN BOY

Ugly Brown Boy ·

2025/08/19

Besides mental health, self awareness and accountability are things I feel very strongly about. I think it’s what can make our circles and communities so much better, and make us all better in the processI’m still learning and I don’t get everything right. But we all need to do better UGLY BROWN BOY Podcast LIKE and SUBSCRIBE on YouTube and Wherever You Listen to Podcasts Connect With Ugly Brown Boy On All Platforms On LinkTree https://linktr.ee/jonnycruz **Song Credit: Jonny Cruz and Franni

8: I Love You (In The Lord)

Ugly Brown Boy ·

2025/08/13

There was a shift in warmth from my Mom after I came out of the closet, and she started saying I Love You, but qualifies it saying, I Love You In The Lord. For so long it hurt my heart to hear it said to me that way and she continued even when I asked her to stop.We’re way past that now. But qualifying your Love for someone falls short, in my opinion, of the real genuine Love that’s behind the sentiment

2025/07/29

If there are precisely to coming out stories, this is mine. My friends showed me the way, and my first experiences were wonderful but also stricken with distress. I’m certain I’m not alone. But the difficulties came later with the discovery of discrimination and racism in the LGBTQ+ community. Kids were harsh But in ways, Gays were worse UGLY BROWN BOY Podcast LIKE and SUBSCRIBE on YouTube and Wherever You Listen to Podcasts Connect With Ugly Brown Boy On All Platforms On

6: You Are A Piece of $#!+

Ugly Brown Boy ·

2025/07/23

This is what I remember from my childhood The language a child hears will be the language that follows them into adulthood It will sound like support and understanding, or it will sound like put downs - don’t let it be the latter As adults, supporting my mother with understanding and empathy is the key to creating those safe spaces that we have always needed UGLY BROWN BOY Podcast LIKE and SUBSCRIBE on YouTube and Wherever You Listen to Podcasts Connect With Ugly Brown Boy On All Platforms

Ugly Brown Boy ·

2025/07/15

In life, we are all creators and destroyersWith every decision we make, we create joy and purpose and love We can also be destructive beings based on our decisions in life In the palms of our hands, we possess the power of gods One of our greatest abilities is our ability to create human connections. Our relationships can help us grow and make us better, and they can also lead us down the wrong paths Our ability to create and destroy is alchemy and magic at its very best and worst UGLY

4: Looks Like Lola Lost Her Damn Mind

Ugly Brown Boy ·

2025/07/08

I think we can all agree it’s a generational thing. The elders like what happened and are grateful for where we are now. But we know better. Our spirits know better. They had reasons for accepting #colonization as a good thing. But we know better, especially as it all unravels. As they attempt to erase our ancestral histories, we must do all we can to reclaim it together.

3: Read The Label Carefully

Ugly Brown Boy ·

2025/06/03

If you are anything like me, you were labeled when you were growing up I was labeled by my family, classmates, friends (in a good way), trolls, and even yourself We all have to deal with it as much as we may hate it Taking those uncomfortable labels from childhood and claiming them, however, can be incredibly empowering. And that’s how I came up with, and decided to use, Ugly Brown Boy #UglyBrownBoy #OfficialUglyBrownBoy #YouTube #NewPodcastAlert #PodcastLove #Podcasters #Podcast #Filipino

This is a little backstory of where I spent my summer vacations as a child and young adult Origin stories are important when you get to know someone. There are a lot nuances to consider from the past when you start hearing me talk about events of today and issues in our communities and our country. Being different from your typical “American” is a challenge and has been for quite some time
