Out Now

Different takes readers on a journey through young Steven’s eyes. Born with a large hairy nevus (birthmark) on his forehead, it caught an uncomfortable kind of unwanted attention. Driven to become a high achiever to evade it all, everything halted one day, commencing his evolutionary, transformative journey.

"Your 'Share Your Story' session was a standout, resonating deeply with our attendees. The heartfelt, impactful message you shared received overwhelmingly positive feedback in our conference review sessions. Your willingness to open up and share your journey not only inspired and moved many but also strengthened the sense of community and understanding among those affected by congenital melanocytic nevi."

"Steven stands as a remarkable individual - resilient, compassionate, and unafraid to be himself. His journey is ongoing, but his example already inspires those around him to approach life with courage and an open heart. His story is not simply about overcoming adversity but about embracing authenticity and helping others do the same. We are all better for having him in our lives. We thank him for his wholehearted and inspirational keynote"

"Steve brought a powerful and much-needed perspective to our event. His storytelling was authentic and compelling; he invited us into his lived experience in a way that sparked personal reflection and meaningful conversation. Through his words, we explored the emotional landscape of living with CMN—its challenges and triumphs—and came away truly inspired. His impact on the group was undeniable."
