Conversion Therapy, Dating & Iron Fists: Eman Akwafo
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we sit down with actor, writer and producer Eman, whose work and lived experience confronts the intersections of queerness, faith and Black masculinity.
From award-nominated stage work (For Black Boys…) to creating his upcoming play Limp Wrist & The Iron Fist, Eman shares the real story behind his art: including assault, silence, conversion therapy, estrangement and rebuilding family relationships.
The conversation moves from survival to self-definition: growing up between Ghana and the UK, being plus size and black in a dating landscape shaped by Grindr profiles displaying “no fats, no Blacks, no fems,” navigating Christianity as a gay man, ghosting, attachment styles, and learning to love yourself without shrinking to fit other people’s expectations.
