Black Proud -- Daniel McHenry, Black Queer Tulsa

Welcome to Tulsa Talks presented by Tulsa Regional Chamber.

On this episode Daniel McHenry breaks down what attendees can do at the inaugural Black Proud Festival, which is happening in the Tulsa Arts District from June 10-12.  McHenry is the founder of Black Queer Tulsa, which is a networking organization in its first year. He talks about launching the organization and its goals.

In the second half of the conversation, McHenry, 27, shares his story of growing up in Tulsa as the son of a preacher and attending public school as he learned more about himself and turned to self-hate before accepting what he knew all along. He shares insight for others who are young and can relate to his life. Read more about him here. 

Following the conversation with McHenry, hear a new single from Tulsa's Cliffdiver.
