Facing Fear

When I asked Rob Bloom how he faces fear he said, "Every day. Every situation."
Rob Bloom is a Creative Director at Universal Orlando Resort. He is also a person who has stuttered since three-years-old. He shares his stuttering journey with us from elementary school experiences to meeting his first friend with a stutter in his late twenties.
Before creating for Universal, Rob helped craft advertising campaigns for brands like The Home Depot, Dunkin', Virgin Islands, the U.S. Marines, and many others. Rob is also an award-winning comedy writer and screenwriter, having written for NPR, The Onion, and the Cartoon Network.
He faces his fear of stuttering every day and in every situation he's in.

Most cancer merch is cheugy. There, I said it.

Thanks to the expertise from my designer, Mariah, an idea from my BFF, Maggie, and my determination to get shit done, BOOM, badass cancer merch was born.

Today I share the behind the scenes of why I created merch for this community I've unwillingly joined.

This is for me, and you... and for my cheerleaders. And for my loved ones worrying everyday. And my friends checking their phones for updates. And finally, for all the survivor sisters I've met, and those I have yet to meet.

If we're going to join the cancer community, we might as well look badass while doing so.

Over the next two weeks, I’ve put together bits and pieces of the stories from guests on this show who have shared their experiences on being Black in this country. Their willingness and vulnerability brings me back to the main mission of this show which is to provide a platform for those who may not be able to tell their stories otherwise. And of course, to hear how they’ve faced and conquered fear along the way.
