This presentation is a humorous and moving account of the importance of self worth, the impact of being different, and how to make it easy and comfortable to Live Loud – being proud of who you are and being able to show it off to others. He has learned to embrace his differences and acknowledge others’ difficulty in practicing tolerance when they don’t understand his differences. He harbors no anger from his own trying experiences, only a dedication to empower those with differences and convert those practicing intolerance. Justin is also a suicide survivor. He is the founder of Honor Good Deeds and the creator of the widely recognized Tolerance Fair. He’s won multiple awards including a volunteer service award from President Obama. Most of all, Justin loves to make a difference.
