Remembering Risper Nyambok Life is beautiful and fragile, filled with fulfilling highs and devastating lows. Unfortunately there are times along the way when you get to experience this contrast at the same time. That was me in 2015, the year I cleared high school.

TINDERELLLA: A Modern LOVE STORY I found out I was gay when I turned 32; in the middle of a threesome. I guess that’s as good a place to start as any.
