Michael Williams Stark is an improv comedian, public speaker, voice actor and musician who is the subject of the international-award-winning CBC radio documentary, "Making Faces". The documentary, also featured on National Public Radio in the U.S., bears the same name as the registered charity Michael founded to foster life skills through improvisation for children with facial differences.
On this episode of Be The Good, Christy and Michael discuss the emotionally heavy challenges and adversity that he faced as a child due to his own facial differences, and how he channelled this pain and used his own talents to help children who are battling the same type of circumstances he faced in his youth.
Michael's story and perspective offer us a host of inspirational moments in this interview as Michael helps shed light on how important it is that we accept those who seem different from us, and how our own differences can, in fact, be the greatest thing about us.
