The Truth About Donating a Kidney—Here’s What Happened Next

What happens when you donate a kidney?

Six years ago, Hip Hop journalist and podcast host Manny Faces made a life-altering decision: he donated a kidney to his daughter, Porsha, who had lost both kidneys to a hidden illness. In this heart-opening video, Manny takes you behind the scenes of the transplant process, from the nerve-wracking tests to the moment he woke up post-surgery—scarred, but ready to give his daughter a second chance at life.

But this story is more than medical drama; it’s about family, tough decisions, and finding joy in unlikely places (like matching tattoos celebrating their "kidneyversary"!). Manny gets real about what recovery is like, and why more people should consider kidney donation.

Whether you’ve faced a similar crossroads, know someone who needs a transplant, or just want to hear an inspiring, deeply human story—this viceo pulls you in and leaves you with hope. Hit play, subscribe, and discover why Manny says this was one of his greatest decisions, period.
