Owning My Truth (ft. Chely Wright)

From a young age, Chely Wright knew two things to be true: she was destined to be a country music star, and she was gay. But for many, many years she thought she could only publicly be one of those, and it nearly killed her. Her candid conversation with Billy is about the connections between f*cking up, acceptance, and survival.
