In this GAYlentine's Day 🌹🖤 episode of Rosé + Thorns, Dr. P. Ryan is joined by Houston media personality Cassius J. Clay for an honest conversation about faith, identity, and dating while learning to fully show up in your body. 

Together, they unpack growing up gay in the Black church, navigating body image and desirability politics in relationships, and protecting your Black Boy Joy in every season. From public assimilation to private authenticity, this episode explores what it takes to be seen — and to choose yourself. 🥂✨

If you’re reflecting on connection, reciprocity, self-love, and the kind of partner you want to be, this conversation is for you.
