Even if you're scared.
Even If You’re Scared is a podcast about showing up for your life… even when you don’t feel ready.
Hosted by Sil, a Black, queer, transmasculine person, this space holds honest conversations about identity, love, grief, becoming, and everything in between. It’s about carrying loss while still making room for hope—and learning how to live with both at the same time.
Some episodes go into the heavy things.
Other days, we laugh, talk about music, books, culture, relationships, and the moments that make life feel good again.
Nothing here is overly polished or perfect. This is a space for honesty—for the hard, the soft, and everything in between.
Occasionally, there may be special guests where we bounce ideas, stories, and perspectives off each other for deeper conversation and connection.
If you’re figuring it out as you go… you’re not alone here.
Even if you're scared.

A guest episode, a loose outline, and entirely too much ground to cover in far too little time.
This Pride Month conversation welcomes Veronica—a Black, Nigerian, queer Londoner, former podcaster, and longtime friend—for a funny, thoughtful, and deeply familiar conversation between two people who probably should've started recording years ago.
What begins as a list of questions about identity, dating, friendship, queerness, community, and life across the pond quickly develops a mind of its own. Stories overlap. Topics wander. Side quests emerge. The outline does its best.
Somewhere between laughter, lived experience, cultural nuance, and the kind of banter that only exists between people who genuinely love and respect each other, the conversation becomes something bigger than either of them planned.
At its heart, this episode is a celebration of Black queer friendship, curiosity, joy, honesty, and the many ways community can find us.
And with entirely too many questions left on the list, this conversation is far from over.
If this episode felt familiar in any way—like your mind, your room, your routines, or your quiet—you’re not alone in it.

Everything sent gets read. Even if it takes time to sit with it.
And wherever you are right now—whether you’re moving fast, standing still, or somewhere in between—you don’t have to force clarity out of it today.
Just keep going gently.
Even if it’s messy.
Even if it’s uncertain.
Even if you’re scared.
