About this listen

Five Trips chronicles Emmy Award-winning journalist Kendis Gibson’s personal journey through five psychedelic experiences, exploring the access issues faced by the BIPOC community in using psychedelics for mental health conditions, set against the backdrop of his challenges as a Black journalist at ABC network and the racial treatment that fueled his public meltdowns.

Five Trips takes you on a profound journey with Emmy Award-winning journalist Kendis Gibson as he navigates the complex interplay of identity, resilience, and healing. This powerful memoir delves into his personal experiences with psychedelics, examining their transformative impact against the often harsh realities of racial inequity and limited access in the BIPOC community. Gibson’s candid recounting includes a gripping anxiety attack during a rare interview with Beyoncé, a public confrontation with deeply entrenched racism at ABC, and his private struggle with sexual identity, all woven into the fabric of an illustrious yet tumultuous career in the media. Five Trips is not just a memoir—it’s a beacon for those seeking to understand the potential of psychedelics in mental health, a testament to overcoming adversity, and an insider’s perspective on the pivotal moments that shape public figures behind the scenes. Join Kendis Gibson as he reveals the unspoken truths of a life spent in the spotlight, offering insights and hope to those on their own paths to healing.

Got me thinking…

I don’t want to say anything bad about this book or story since it’s somebody’s real life. I do think it makes you think about shrooms and what your experience would be. Because I heard this book was coming out by Kendis I was excited to hear his experience at ABC News which was shared…only it wasn’t to the extent I thought as I was hyped up about the book from a radio personality. Anyway, I used to watch Kendis & Diane Mercado in World News Now and loved their chemistry. It saddened me and he left then her…I soon came to realize that everyone leaves after a period of time.

Within the story I think I can identify with his experience when it came to things said at the workplace and little to no reaction or response from fellow co-workers of the same race. That disturbs me the most…we have so much power in numbers yet, more so than not, “we” decide self preservation is better than us as a whole. That’s a HUGE issue.

With that being said, I appreciate the book and what Kendis shared. I pray that he’s happier and has found what he was seeking.
