Masculinity, Spoken Word & The Birds and the Bees: myndstate

In this episode, we’re joined by myndstate, a spoken word artist who uses poetry to explore identity, sexuality and what it means to grow up in a world that doesn’t always leave space for difference.
myndstate shares how he found his voice through hip-hop, wordplay and storytelling and how writing became a form of therapy as he came to terms with being queer. He opens up about growing up without representation, the shame and confusion of hiding parts of himself and the long road to coming out to his family and finally feeling free.
We dive into his most powerful work, including his poem Birds and the Bees, which reimagines sex education through a queer lens, challenging what we’re taught about love, bodies and “normality.” He talks about why education and visibility matter, why empathy is the real goal of his art, and how performing to non-queer audiences can change the way people see the world.
