I’m Ryan Sheldon—a speaker, and a body image / eating disorder advocate. I feel blessed to be able to share my own experiences with weight-bullying, binge eating disorder, and evolving sexuality to educate and inspire others. Vulnerability is my superpower! (Well, that and truly boundless energy.) You can usually find me cuddling my good boy Riley 🐶 or playing something by singer/songwriter Vanessa Carlton on the piano.

I think the Fashion Hero is doing something incredible for the world. It is resetting the worlds view on the standard of beauty.

I would be a great role model for this generation because I am unapologetically myself and have a story to share. I realized after I started sharing my story publicly that you can impact someone else's life is a positive way just by sharing that story and that is what I want to be doing!
