This podcast episode tells the story of Eric Darnell Pritchard, who grew up in Jamaica, Queens, New York in 1989 and felt different from others due to his bookish, larger, and feminine nature. His friendship with Elle, a new boy who moved in across the street, provided him with a sense of belonging and acceptance. Despite the risk of being perceived as gay or feminine, their friendship deepened, and Eric realized that there was something about him that brought out the warmth and smile in Elle.
