Expertise
Talking Points

Gender & Diversity

Growing up, Brihony struggled with their sexuality and felt a lot of shame being attracted to women.

This shame dissipated when they hit university and discovered many other people were like them. Their identity has slowly evolved as they began to see themselves less as a woman and more as a person. Initially, they didn’t know what that meant. Still, more understanding of others in the queer community and some deep self-exploration led to the discovery that, on the gender spectrum, they landed a little differently to most people.

Key Takeaways:
- Understanding of those with gender-diverse identities
- How to become a better LGBTIQA+ ally

Strength Through Adversity

Brihony’s parents separated when Brihony was quite young, and after years of battling addiction, Brihony’s dad, Brian, passed away when Brihony was only fifteen years old. The loss of their dad completely shattered Brihony’s world, and they quickly descended into a chaotic and destructive lifestyle.

Brihony, who has since been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, continues to fight their demons and stay connected to their true self. Brihony shares the ways they have managed to flourish in their darkest moments and still be able to access, what they call, their ‘superpower’.

Key Takeaways:
- A backstage pass and incite into a remarkable life, built from an uncertain beginning
- Tangible information about resilience and finding your strength from within
