Black Guy Fawkes on Surviving Bullying

Host Jason Schreurs welcomes folk-punk singer/songwriter Black Guy Fawkes who talked about being bullied in school. Fawkes lives with trauma around his youth and other harassment he’s faced in his adult life. Being accepted into the punk scene by some of the musicians he looked up to, like Frank Turner, was a game-changer.
