Keep On Survivin' with MarQuis Parson

Crystal Renee Hayslett
About this episode

This week I invited my longtime friend and brother from another mother, MarQuis, to join me on the couch. MarQuis has been riding with me since college and we've seen each other through so many ups and downs. We talked about everything from coming out, heartbreak, his heart condition and so much more. Make sure you check out his non-profit www.thebeatitfoundation.
