I didn't think that I would be excommunicated. I just felt like no matter what I did, my path was going to continue in that direction.

I was actually never open to myself about what I was going through with him being attracted to men.

Because it was something I was trying still to push away.

So when I would try to like somewhat even confront it in my mind, my brain would forget it and I'd be like, what was I thinking about?

Hi, I'm Mayan Biallik and welcome to my breakdown. This is the place where we break things down so you don't have to.

We've got a lot to break down today. We're going to be breaking down a little bit about being a person of faith

and a little bit about being a member of the LGBTQIA plus community. I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about our guest, David Archuleta.

Now, you may know David Archuleta from American Idol, season seven, but he has so many other things that he does.

And we're going to talk about that. He also has a children's book called My Little Prayer and we're going to talk about that.

But first, I'd like to introduce you to the answer to My Little Prayer, Jonathan Cohen.

Hi, Mayan. Hi, everyone. That was a good one. You had been slacking a little bit, but I mean, that you really came through on.

Well, nothing can get me down because I'm in here and makeup.

Why are you in here and makeup, Mayan?

I had some work to do this morning. That's not what I wanted to talk about.

But I realized that I have not been in like full here and makeup on an episode in a long time.

And for people who are listening, you may want to hop over to YouTube because Chanel Cross does some pretty awesome shading.

And I'm just looking at myself. I usually don't like to look at myself.

And I sometimes wonder, like, would I just like myself better and be happier if I just did this every day?

Beauty is on the inside, Mayan. Beauty is on the inside. And also, we can't avoid the culture that we are raised in.

We can't avoid the images we see. I feel like if no one wore makeup, I'd be fine not wearing makeup.

Because when I look at myself, I think like, yeah, this is the face that I was given.

This is what God gave me. This is what the universe and genetics presented.
