Holding On to Inherent Worth: A Story of Courage and Belonging
Jonte Hurlock, a gay convention refugee from Jamaica, now calls Cranbrook home. In this raw and moving conversation with host Jacquie King, Jonte opens up about the pain of leaving everything he knew behind in search of safety and acceptance. He shares the challenges of navigating a new identity in a foreign place, the weight of rejection, and the quiet power of beginning again.
As Jonte recounts his personal path through fear, faith, and finding community, he reminds us that worth isn’t something we earn—it’s something we’ve always had. This episode is a testament to courage, resilience, and the unshakable truth that every human being holds inherent worth, no matter where they come from or who they love.
