In the summer of 2020, the nation came under fire for racial injustice and unrest. Emmanuel Acho felt called to use his voice, and started the YouTube series “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man.” Emmanuel became an internet sensation almost overnight, partnering with people like Oprah and Matthew McConaughey. This is Emmanuel’s story of being on the other side of success.

Emmanuel Acho played for the NFL and also hosts a Fox Sports show, so moderate fame is not a new experience for him. However, becoming an internet sensation with a best-selling book overnight and guest hosting The Bachelor can definitely be an overwhelming life to adapt to. Emmanuel got vulnerable with us and shared that although he is grateful for his platform, fame is much lonelier than he expected. He is learning the process of how to navigate it all, and it’s something that people don’t talk about much. We’re so thankful for Emmanuel being open with us about his experience!
