His words gave me the confidence to be myself."
Talk Stoop is now airing in nine cities (NY, DC, Chicago, Philly, Miami, Dallas, LA, San Francisco, and San Diego). Between broadcast, digital, and out-of-home platforms like screens in cabs and on gas pumps, Talk Stoop is viewed nearly 13 million times a week
