Born in Turkey, Harun worked as an events manager for over 10 years. He moved to the UK in 2015 to escape anti-LGBT+ hostility and discrimination.

His story has been shared with the world by WHO and UN and included in many campaigns, podcasts and articles worldwide to raise awareness . Harun is committed to speaking publicly and sharing his life experiences to tackle stigma and raise awareness of sex positivity, HIV, Mpox and ADHD/mental health, as well as the stigma he faced as a gay man in Turkey.
