He is recognized for his work and his unique brand, which carries forth Deen’s message and motivation: “Think for yourself. Be true to yourself. Explore life and live without shame.”
“I feel it is important to have an open and healthy conversation about human sexuality,” states Deen regarding his involvement with and sponsorship of the panel. “I feel as a society, we are pre-conditioned to have certain sexual repressions that sometimes end up creating negative outcomes. Hopefully be encouraging this kind of expansion and discussion to younger generations, we can promote a positive understanding of respect, boundaries, and human rights.”
