In this raw and unfiltered conversation, we dive into everything from identity politics to my life growing up in a fundamentalist Mormon cult with 44 siblings. We tackle the hypocrisies of cultural appropriation, the complexities of gender and race, and whether diversity initiatives actually help or hurt individuals.Plus, we break down the real reason polygamy became central to Mormonism—and why I almost didn’t exist because of it.Oh, and I’m about to head to Israel & Palestine for a project that might get me canceled. Let’s talk about it.This is a new series on Cultured Boy--welcome to unfiltered conversation--Coffee with Calvin.About Anthony: Anthony is one my best friends in New York City.
