(Episode 27) The Day I Became Black

(Episode 27) The Day I Became Black

Author: Victor Sotomayor October 29, 2020 Duration: 41:41
Revisiting old episodes and here’s one I did about a year ago with actor Bill Posley about his one man show ABOUT THE SHOW: The Day I Became Black is created, written and performed by Posley (CBS’s The Neighborhood, Netflix’s Glow), with direction by Bente Engelstoft (The Ellen DeGeneres Show). Nominated for Best Solo Show and Top of the Fringe at the 2018 Hollywood Fringe Festival, the show details Bosley's experience of growing up biracial in America. Until the age of 10, Posley was happy to identify as both races, until he learns that society, ultimately, always chooses an identity for him. The Day I Became Black is a story of finding the comedy in the struggle to fit in and just be yourself.

Victor Sotomayor hosts Italo’s Blog Talk Radio, a space where conversation flows without a script. The heart of this podcast is built on genuine encounters with individuals who approach life with creativity and a constructive outlook. Rather than polished interviews, you’ll hear the raw, spontaneous dialogue that happens when people speak openly about their journeys, ideas, and the forces that drive them. These discussions naturally weave through themes of society and culture, often touching on the personal journals and reflections that shape our experiences. It’s for anyone who appreciates the unvarnished truth and finds energy in authentic connection. Tuning in means joining a series of candid exchanges where inspiration isn’t a forced topic but a natural byproduct of honest talk. The rhythm of each episode is unique, guided solely by the guest and the moment, offering a refreshing departure from overly produced media. This podcast lives in the real, sometimes messy, always human moments between people who have something meaningful to share.
