Emil Wilbekin: Founder of Native Son
in My heart is a podcast hosted by Heather Thomson and is about all things from entrepreneurship, to motherhood and marriage, nutrition, fashion, travel, adventure, friendships and above all, it is about sparking the curiosity we all have inside us that can help us explore our passions and live our dreams. It started with the concept of conversations with friends, experts, learning more, encouraging independent thinking, and digging deeper into topics to inspire new perspectives. Each week, she’ll speak to old friends and new about all the things in her head and finding our freedom.
Emil Wilbekin, Founder of Native Son, talks to Heather about contracting HIV while working as a fashion director and living in fear, turning that fear into fuel for his activism as a Black gay man, philanthropic community building for Black LGBTQ men through Native Son, his time spent as Editor-in-Chief of Vibe Magazine, and his spiritual journey.
