"Men are not very good at embracing that vulnerability… Until a fellow man steps and plants a fellow flag in the sand."

Lee has an inspiring story of struggling to navigate his emotions, trying to find his identity during his university years, to even having to overcome a disease that took away the use of his legs for several months.
