S3.E38: Too Much for the Room, Prince Domo on Writing, Self Expression, and Taking Up Space as a Black Bisexual Man in Hip Hop

<p>What happens when the voice you were once told was “too much” becomes the very thing that saves you?</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode of Embracing All of Me, Ross sits down with Prince Domo, a Black bisexual rapper and multidisciplinary creative whose path into music began with color pencils, cartoons, orchestra, theater, poetry, and a lifelong desire to be seen fully, not flattened, dismissed, or made more palatable.</p><p><br></p><p>From Kansas City and Texas to his artistic rebirth as Prince Domo, this conversation explores rap as self-expression <em>and </em>self-protection. Together, Ross and Prince Domo unpack what it means to be an open Bi+ Black man in Hip-hop, to write honestly about attraction and relationships, and to keep taking up space in rooms that were not built with you in mind.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>We get into:</strong></p><ul><li>​<strong>Prince Domo’s early creative world:</strong> from coloring, cartoons, viola, and theater to poetry, monologues, and the English teachers who helped him recognize the writer within.</li><li>​<strong>Being underestimated because of personality:</strong> how charisma can make people like you socially while still failing to respect your seriousness</li><li>​<strong>Rap as rhythm, poetry, and release:</strong> why rap gave Prince Domo a sharper, more aggressive voice than poetry alone, and how college helped him claim it</li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li>​<strong>Becoming Prince Domo:</strong> his rebrand, his artistic rebirth, and the meaning behind “Domo” as “dominance over mild obedience.”</li><li>​<strong>Black bisexual visibility in hip-hop:</strong> writing about men and women, making “bi rap,” and refusing to shrink inside a genre still shaped by heteronormativity</li><li>​<strong>Fear, courage, and speaking up anyway:</strong> why Prince Domo became more afraid of what would happen if he stayed silent than what might happen if he acted.</li><li>​<strong>Love, trauma, DL men, and being deeply seen:</strong> a vulnerable conversation about assault, trauma responses, desire, and loving men who may not be quite ready to claim themselves openly.</li></ul><p>Prince Domo’s story reminds us that representation is not only something we search for outside ourselves. It is also something we can become.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>About Prince Domo:</strong>Prince Domo is a rapper, writer, and creative artist whose work blends confidence, lyrical sharpness, emotional honesty, and unapologetic self-expression.
