Martin in action
Bursting Through sees the extraordinary in people, in the ordinary of their everyday lives, even if they don’t see it in themselves. An extraordinary person's story is not a list of accomplishments or akin to a late night talk show interview that is fairly predictable and mostly about promoting something. It is a story about what brought a person to activism, their internal dialogue, struggles and triumphs. Martin is a Keynote Speaker, Courage Champion, Inclusion Practitioner and LGBTQIA+ Advocate. He is also the Chief Executive Officer of the World Gay Boxing Championships (WGBC). Martin’s mission with the WGBC is to showcase the support he found in boxing and its thriving LGBTIQA+ community to the world. 19
