He/Him
You Will:
You will falter, fall and fail and you will summon the courage to stand up and keep going.
You will struggle to survive and thrive in a world that doesn’t always value people who look and love like you do, and you will draw upon reservoirs of resilience to make your dreams come true.
You will wear many masks in an attempt to fit in and be a part of the cool crowd and you will discover that true belonging is about being true to who you really are.
You Are:
You are Black, bold, queer, and beautiful.
You are a rainbow in the clouds.
You are safe, guided, and loved.
About Jumol:
“My name is Jumol Royes, aka the compassionate communicator, and I’m a gay Black man born and raised in the GTA. I’m a storyteller and voice for the voiceless; the marginalized and the vulnerable are my tribe. I’m a compassionate communicator who leads with empathy; I see you, I hear you, I feel you is the mantra that keeps me alive. I’m a cheerful connector who enjoys bringing people together; I meet strangers who turn into soul siblings as if by fate. I’m a determined dreamer who thrives on making the impossible, possible; everything happens in its own time and when it does, it’s never too late.”
