MY STORY

ACT 1: MY MODELLING & ACTING CAREER

Facing the double-edged sword of global affirmation that was extricably linked with my weight, my time as a model was both confidence-building and distressing.

It's an experience that I would not change as it's given me an understanding of the delicate interplay between body image and mind.

ACT 2: MY MENTAL BREAKDOWN

In 2022, I was wrestling with an undiagnosed illness. I found myself in the depths of despair in 2022, grappling with suicidal thoughts and overwhelming hopelessness.

A profound realisation struck me during this darkest hour: "I am going to change the world."

ACT 3: DEVOTING MY LIFE TO COMMUNITY

Throughout my career I've had a fervent passion for education reform, and have never shied from an opportunity to learn and to educate.

I am grateful that my journey so far has given me so many opportunities to make an impact, and I am ever-braced for the next one.

Shaun is a talented communicator, speaker and writer. He is not frightened of sharing his own experience of some of the lesser-known yet equally devastating forms of OCD. Indeed, we urgently need more people like Shaun who are ok with raising awareness for these forms of OCD.
