Embracing Your Uniqueness: Perseverance, Disruption, and the Power of Standing Out

Myles’s journey from a small rural town to the global runway has taught them the importance of celebrating what makes them different.

In this talk, Myles shares their personal story of growing up in a close-knit rural community, overcoming obstacles, and discovering their true self. They discuss the challenges they faced when moving to Toronto to pursue a modelling career, the resilience required to persist through rejection, and the transformative impact of embracing their unique qualities on both their career and personal life.

Myles describes how sharing their authentic self on-line opened doors to incredible opportunities, including collaborating with world-renowned brands. Their hope is to inspire others to recognize that what makes them different is not a weakness, but the very thing that can become their greatest strength when nurtured. Myles invites us to explore how perseverance and self-acceptance can empower us all to disrupt norms and realize our full potential.

Myles’s HIV Journey – Transforming Pain and Reclaiming Power

In this compelling keynote, Myles shares their personal story of growing up in a small town, where access to inclusive and empowering sexual health education was limited. This lack of information meant they had to navigate the challenges of insufficient sexual health education, ultimately facing the life-altering experience of an HIV diagnosis at 27. While medication is a crucial first step in managing HIV, Myles emphasizes that it is only the beginning. The most difficult aspect of their journey has been the mental and emotional healing required to move forward. This presentation stands as a testament to courage, vulnerability, and Myles’s ongoing quest to reclaim power over trauma, offering inspiration and hope to anyone navigating their own path to self-acceptance and resilience.
