About
Hi there! My name is Michael. I go by he/they pronouns and identify as bisexual. I'm authentically Italian and am bilingual, in English and Italian respectively. I am extremely proud of my heritage and especially love breaking norms and inspiring others, especially those who are authentically European, to be who they truly are and break free of exhausting family dictation and expectations they may face. I fear that there are not many individuals who come from a similar background represented in the community, and I want to be that representation on the stage and in the world to strive individuals who identify like me to come out and be unapologetically who they are.
