Kier Gaines is a licensed therapist who’s building brave spaces for men, especially Black men, to have the agency to heal, learn  and grow in a world that often forgets they exist. After the video of him and daughter discussing life and therapy went viral two years ago after the tragic murder of George Floyd, Kier has since become an online personality where he uses his skills as a therapist to challenge himself and his community to heal and grow mentally while the world continues to change around them. As he shares his life and family with the world, Kier is truly on a mission to encourage everyone to discover the unapologetic versions of themselves that they often hide in order to fit in. 

Interview Highlights: 

• • Same skills, different stage - use all of life’s teachings to navigate the journey of life and the path of self-discovery 
  • We must allow space for people to be 100% themselves, unapologetically in order to give others the same permission to show up as their fullselves 
  • Creating brave spaces where men can heal, learn and grow allows them to increase their bandwidth to be able to show up for the people in their lives that need them the most
