Take heart, peers. Often, our most painful experiences can become the catalyst to our purpose in life. For James Lolicato, being one of the only openly gay students in PE classes was an isolating and tumultuous experience. But after gaining the courage to dive back into sports, he resolved to turn his struggle into his strength, and make sporting organisations more inclusive and safe for LGBTI+ youth. In this episode, James boldly shares his experiences in high school, how he found the confidence to fight for LGBTI inclusion, and how we too can forge meaning from our greatest struggles. James Lolicato is the co-founder of Proud2Play and Pride Cup Australia.
