There was a fire lit in my heart and it was like you can go out now and you can change other people's lives.
Ever felt like you couldn't breathe under the weight of life's pressures? Marcus Wright knows that feeling all too well. In this heartfelt episode of 'Human Reboot', Marcus opens up about his harrowing experiences with bullying both at school and at home.

With the help of a dedicated counsellor and his GP, he found a lifeline in volunteering, which ignited a newfound purpose within him. At 25, Marcus finally embraced his true self, coming out and feeling like he could breathe for the first time. Now flourishing, he dedicates his life to supporting parents and young people in the LGBTQIA+ community, encouraging them to see things from new perspectives and become Allies.
Nominated for a National Diversity Award, Marcus's journey is a powerful reminder of the impact of empathy, education, and community support. Tune in to hear his practical tips for managing mental health and finding inspiration in others. This episode is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the importance of compassion.
