I know first hand what its like to be called names and to be affected by things. They would call me fat, they would call me promiscuous in different words. At the time, when I was 12-years-old, that was like the end of the world. To me, bullying is one of my biggest platforms. Lets …
This month at Libero Magazine we are talking about Friendship, and so I thought I’d take this opportunity to write a letter to you – my friends. I suppose you could call this an ‘open letter’, but I want you to know that I wrote it with each and every one of you in mind. …

This is what he had to say: Willingness implies …
The criticism I’ve received from Libero Network’s #StopFitspiration Movement has not been easy for me to digest. For months I have sat on all of the comments, unsure what to do, what to make of them, or whether or not to respond. But I’ve found my voice now, and this is what I have to say: …
