I was still living in the closet when I started my first business.
In my late teens, I became a photographer, tasked with documenting weddings and love stories. My mentor at the time taught me how to turn away LGBTQ+ couples who wanted to hire me, fearing they'd reflect badly on my brand.
It took years of unlearning to realise the harm that this had caused. But it was also pivotal in shaping the direction my career - a career that celebrates all humans, no matter who they love or how they identify.
Coming out as non-binary freed me from the social expectations of masculinity in business, allowing me to embrace my full self. Being genderqueer has opened incredible doors and helped me build a company that feels purposeful and sustainable.
Today, I deliver a myriad of services, including inclusive marketing consulting, allyship training and public speaking. With 10+ years of business experience, I provide industry-leading resources and training that eliminate discrimination and empower business leaders to be more confident allies.
"If you want to be more LGBTQ+ inclusive you need to work with someone whose lived experience has given them deep knowledge and insight into how we can create change. This person is Hank!
I felt welcomed to say or ask anything I needed because they invited me into a safe space. You'll be met with kindness and love, and also a bank of practical ideas for changing up what you do in your business to be more inclusive."
