Even though people around us may be influencing 'our narrative', they are not the ones writing it. 
The power of our narrative has an important aspect on constructing our ideologies. 

Thadd Correia was born in Trinidad and raised in Canada where he earned a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in English Literature and a Bachelor of Education at York University. He has earned additional qualifications in the areas of Special Education, Counseling and Theatre education. He moved to Cyprus in 2007 and has worked with the LGBTI communities and other charitable organizations in both Canada and Cyprus towards building safer, more caring, equitable societies with equal access to services, education and career environments that are free of harassment and discrimination.  
He values the power of community and strongly believes that lasting change requires the concerted efforts of a great many members of those communities. He sees his contributions as just a small part of a larger social movement that he hopes will continue to promote the message of caring for one another in order to further our intellectual and social evolution.
