“The sky is the limit; the world your dancefloor. And just think who you might be inspiring simply by being yourself.” @johannesradebe may be a household name today – but his path to BBC Strictly Come Dancing stardom was not always smooth. Growing up gay in a township in South Africa he was often singled out, and he has faced vile racist and homophobic abuse during his time in the spotlight. But it was also by being unashamedly himself that he has made his dancing dreams come true. His words, shared with Gold Award holders at Buckingham Palace last month, inspire all of us to have the courage to be exactly who we are.
