SPEAKING TOPICS
With a driving determination and the help of others Jono Lancaster has learnt to control the anxiety he felt in his younger years to become a well-respected author, presenter and public speaker. He is now more comfortable in himself and uses his experience and story to influence others and make facial differences more widely accepted.
Jono Lancaster works across the world to help those with facial differences be more accepting of themselves. Using his experiences to guide others on how to embrace their differences is a constant goal for Jono. Whilst he acknowledges things are changing he feels that mainstream culture could be doing more to help acceptance and equality for those with facial differences.
