Sean's Story

I was proud that I did it

Embracing His True Self

Sean grew up in a religious household in the United States, and things weren’t always easy.

“I grew up in a religious household,” he said, “and it was quite clear to me that I was a showman, and that I was bold and I was flamboyant, and I just hid that”.

Ready to embrace his true self, we invited Sean to take part in a tandem skydive over the beautiful city of Newcastle. “You spend your entire adult life trying to figure out who you are, but the world is waking up,” he said, “you can walk a different walk.”

the Pride Jump

Marking the experience as a pride jump, Sean was ready to challenge everything he’d experienced growing up and truly embrace who he is. With his adorable twins in tow, he was ready to show them what it looked like to be proud of who you are, and to channel the confidence you need to do so.

After landing from his jump, we asked Sean how he felt. His response? Jumping in the air and screaming with pure joy.

“That word, being proud, just kept coming back to me. I was proud that I did it, proud that I got in the plane, proud that I jumped,” he said.
