Ep75: Ryan Anderson

Send us a text

Ryan Anderson was transracially adopted from Morocco to Scotland but didn’t find out until I was 18. Then he decided to keep this secret until this year (13 years later) now feeling brave to tell his story to friends and for everyone to see online. Ryan had been around alcohol & drugs while traveling the world for the last 10 years trying to escape his problems but is now opening up to face them to raise mental health awareness. Ryan has been working away on himself for the past 18 months dealing with issues and coming up with ideas to improve his mental health. He has finished writing his 20-page story and creating a 15 minute video to help others. Ryan hopes he can encourage people to be kind and inspired finding balance in life. As it would happen, I found out through DNA I am 50% Scottish hearing Ryan’s thick accent felt like home. We are releasing this episode while I am in Scotland hopefully meeting up with Ryan for a real life chat. This young dynamic man shared ever aspect of his story with a deep desire for outreach. He does not want others to hold secrets, he wants all of us to be free, heard and known.
