About ‘Mama’s Boy’
In “Mama’s Boy,” Black takes viewers along as he goes back to his roots and revisits his childhood before sharing his coming out story and how it influenced who he is today.

At 21 years old, Black came out to his mother, which propelled the pair onto a very emotional journey together.
