From a young age I realized my 'identity' was integral to me. Accepting and understanding myself took time. Leaving the comfort of known structures was daunting, yet it provided the space I needed for self-discovery. Today, I strive to show the diverse faces of being LGBTQ+ and inspire young people to own their queer identityDavid Connah, Consultant, Oliver Wyman
