Byron Boehm is a 37 year old artist living independently in Sydney.For most of Byron's life, he has known that he is gay. But it is only in the last year that he has come out publicly. It's not just his sexuality that Byron has struggled with in his life. He also has a serious physical condition that causes him ongoing pain and distress. Not only that, a childhood accident left him with damage to his brain and he also has ADHD.But Byron will not allow himself to be a victim of his challenges. Through his art and with therapy, he's fighting to make a better life for himself and to become a beacon of light, strength and hope for others. He also has a very unique business idea that he will share with us.
