October is both Filipino American History Month and LGBT(QIA) History Month. On today's episode of MESEARCH, we’re getting to know Ron Blakely, a queer, non-binary, Southern California-based singer, actor, and recording artist of Black and Filipino heritage. Ron gets vulnerable and shares how growing up queer and Brown/Black as well as processing the grief of losing both parents affects his artistry as a singer and songwriter.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of grief, loss, and the death of loved ones.
