Joseph
23, London

“What an experience. I’ve learnt a lot about myself. I felt so safe in those walls. Everyone’s amazing - we all had this amazing brotherhood”

Joseph lives in South London and is currently studying performing arts. His long-term dream is to become an actor and travel the world. Joseph describes himself as a real fashionista. He loves to express himself through his clothes, especially the finishing touches - nails and jewellery.

Joseph is one of 10 siblings and explains that when he was young his mum had to manage with little money, saying, ‘They were difficult times but character building at the same time’. Joseph’s broader family are very religious and some struggled to accept his sexuality but he’s always had the support of his mum who said straight away she loves him unconditionally, no matter what. Joseph likes to practise self-care: mental, physical and spiritual.

He says he tries to keep a chilled outlook on the world and tries to stay away from drama. Despite being a hopeless romantic, Joseph has never been in love and would love to find that connection. He’s looking for someone really caring, with great teeth and a great sense of fashion.
