The first part of the video was released on YouTube yesterday, Feb. 2.

The video forms part of his Living Free with Dan Initiative, a project through which he hopes to create awareness about African queerness and mental health.

When Yomi came out, he was a student at Bournemount University in the U.K., where he was the first black president of the Student Union.

Prior to the release of the video, Yomi wrote:

“Stayed up all night with my technical crew to add some finishing touches to our first-ever video for #LFWD title: “Why I came out to my family on WhatsApp” …Part 1.

“In as much as I’m grateful for the progress this initiative has made over the past months, I also feel vulnerable about sharing this video I.e. my personal life and journey with the world.

However, the goal still remains to inspire at least one person and let them know that they’re not alone and that their feelings are valid … and if this video achieves that, then it would have been a job well done.”
