Danny Ramadan || Vancouver Headshot Photographer

When I googled Danny Ramadan, pages and pages of links for Syrian Refugee, Author, Journalist, Public Speaker, Activist and LGBTQ Refugee Advocate came up.
Danny has only lived in Canada for 3 years and has become a vital citizen sharing his passion and compassion to assist LGBTQ refugees from 80 countries where being a LGBTQ person is a punishable offense.
His TEDX talk video below brought tears to my eyes. His words are poetry.

Danny shares his intimate experience of uprooting himself from his homeland to flee from homophobia, and how arriving in a new country as a refugee is not necessarily the happy ending that many perceive it to be. Danny Ramadan is a Jack-of-all-trades who found his calling in activism, civil justice, journalism and creative writing.
