    How You Grievin? with Traé Ray

    In this episode of How You Grievin?, Malcolm sits down with Traé Ray for a powerful conversation about grief, personal growth, dating, relationships, and becoming the person you're meant to be. Many people never get the chance to understand what grief can look like from a place of growth. Traé shares how the transition of his grandparents became more than a painful experience, it became the foundation for his self-love, confidence, and purpose. Through honest reflection, he explains how grief helped him release fear, trust his intuition, and embrace his authentic self. Traé also reflects on his experience as a contestant on Pop the Balloon or Find QUEER Love with Trackz, sharing what the experience taught him about vulnerability, rejection, authenticity, and showing up as yourself—even when you know you won't be everyone's choice.
