“As an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and individuals facing addiction and mental health challenges, my tattoos have become conversation starters. They provide an opportunity for me to share my story and create a safe space for others to open up about their own experiences.”
Welcome to Your Ink Story Podcast, where we explore the fascinating world of tattoos and the stories behind them.
On Episode 16 we chat with Dylan Fredricey, a remarkable individual with a powerful journey of transformation.
Dylan is a passionate advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, particularly those facing substance abuse and mental health challenges.
As the founder and director of business development for a nonprofit startup outpatient drug and alcohol treatment program, Dylan's work is making a significant impact on the lives of many.
“My journey in recovery was not an easy one, but it has given me a sense of purpose and a desire to make a difference in the lives of others. By sharing my story and working in the field of drug and alcohol treatment, I hope to inspire hope and create positive change in our communities.”
During this INKspirational conversation, Dylan shares his own ink story, from the rebellious beginnings of getting his first tattoo on his 18th birthday to the evolution of his body art during his recovery journey.
Join us as we delve into the inspirations, meanings, and experiences that have shaped Dylan's transformative ink narrative.
Heartfelt thanks to Dylan for shining his light and changing lives, everywhere he glows.
