They were raised in Shreveport LA, in a strict religious home. Nathaniel's self-hatred, harm, suicide thoughts and attempts, started once his family and religious mentors discovered he was Queer. They forced him into conversion therapy. After the CT trauma, he left his family and their religion. With soul searching and studies, Nathaniel discovered the creator made him and he must live in truth. After 7 dark years, on August 28th 2018 Nathaniel accepted their true authentic self! Now a Jewish mystic, they believe the greatest religion is LOVE!! • https://www.facebook.com/nathan.pons.... • https://instagram.com/alistairadsumme... • Rev.
