Kyle's talk, at our festival, was extremely moving and informative. He conveys his journey relatably and with candor. His willingness to engage with some of his difficulties on stage, express himself with honesty, and capture a sense of growth and progress, is inspiring. His talk was also well informed regarding Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) - a complex diagnosis, rarely spoken about and heavily stigmatized. Having a capable speaker, like Kyle, explain his own experiences with BPD and present it in a readily understandable fashion was fantastic. Kyle has tremendous potential as a mental health advocate.
