“When the world becomes too difficult,” says Gregg Cassin, HIV/AIDS activist and motivational speaker, “You can make that difference–with the way you hold yourself and the way you treat the person at the grocery story and at the post office … and it builds out from there.”

Gregg Cassin lives to inspire others to be there true selves. He recognized that calling as a young man when he grappled with his own coming out, learning to embrace his truth. Now he encourages others to do the same.

“Their particular light is their ministry, says Gregg, “Every shortcoming. Every experience they have walked through. Every challenge. Whatever is thrown in front of them is their hero’s journey.”

Diagnosed with HIV/AIDs in the early years of the epidemic, Gregg’s life has been a living testament to the power of embracing your spark and using it to shine your bright, glorious light into the world.
