Billy Porter has spent his life breaking barriers—but behind the boldness, the fashion, and the history-making moments is a journey of deep resilience, healing, and the power of unconditional love.

On My Legacy, hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger sit down with Billy and his younger sister, Mary Martha Ford, for a deeply personal conversation about identity, family, and finding the courage to live authentically.

Billy opens up about his early years in Pittsburgh, the challenges of growing up queer in a religious community, and the angels who helped him dream beyond his circumstances. He reflects on the moment he chose himself—refusing to shrink to fit others' expectations—and how that decision shaped his career and his sense of purpose.

Mary Martha shares her own story of strength, revealing the depth of their unbreakable bond, from childhood Christmases to the moment Billy became her caregiver during a life-threatening health crisis.

Together, through laughter and unfiltered vulnerability, they explore what it means to love without conditions, support each other through life's hardest moments, and standing tall in who you are.

For David Oyelowo and Nate Parker, friendship isn’t just about the good times—it’s about showing up when everything is on the line.

On My Legacy, hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger continue their extraordinary conversation with David and Nate —one that goes beyond Hollywood to explore resilience, redemption, and what it means to stand by someone when the world turns away.

They open up about public scrutiny, Hollywood’s “there can only be one” mindset in Hollywood, and the challenges that tested their bond. But at the heart of their legacies is something even more personal—their roles as fathers and husbands.

David shares the two-week rule that keeps his marriage strong and the best advice he’s received about love. Nate reflects on the intentional ways he’s raising his five daughters, reinforcing their worth, and how fatherhood reshaped his perspective on legacy.

Through raw honesty, reflection, and laughter, this conversation is a testament to faith, family, and the power of showing up for the ones you love most.

David Oyelowo always knew he was meant to play Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma - but Hollywood didn’t see it that way. It took seven years, unwavering faith, and a powerful act of brotherhood to finally bring that dream to life.

Join hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger as they sit down with David and his best friend, Nate Parker, on My Legacy for a powerful conversation about legacy, lifting others up, and the responsibility of telling the truth through film.

David reflects on his Nigerian heritage and the esteem instilled in him by the legacy of his grandfather, a tribal king. In contrast, Nate opens up about growing up in Norfolk, Virginia, where success was defined by escaping his roots - until he discovered the power of embracing and elevating untold Black stories. Their paths first crossed on Red Tails, a film about the legendary Tuskegee Airmen, and their shared passion for amplifying Black voices forged an unbreakable bond—one grounded in faith and a relentless drive to challenge barriers and bring untold stories to light.

From the fight to bring Selma to the screen to the lessons learned from the heroes who came before them, this conversation is a tribute to perseverance, purpose, and enduring friendship.
