It's easy to wear a mask, but under the surface, Shane Allen was hiding his struggle with mental health that almost ended his life. Brian and Colman sit down with the 2-time Emmy Award-Winning Television producer to talk about knowing when to get help and facing the stigma that plagues our community
Shane Allen is a 2-time EMMY Award-Winning TV Producer, creative consultant, and futurist. He's helped create television and digital brands in Southeast Texas, Austin, Dallas, and a nationally syndicated show on the CW Network. He is currently a Senior Producer in the Marketing Department of a Fortune 40 company and sits on the executive board of DIFFA Dallas as the chair of public relations and communications. Since the mid-80's, DIFFA (the Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS) has granted over $50 million to organizations on the front line of creating the first AIDS-free generation. And, if that wasn't enough, he is also the CEO of BestDragShows.com, which produces the largest drag brunch in Texas.
