But what you might not know is that his road to becoming a social media sensation was marked with pain and trauma. As a teen, classmates at his renowned private school bullied him relentlessly because of his sexuality, and as a result, he fell into a deep depression. He found catharsis in documenting his struggles on social media, which drew support from thousands of people and eventually caught the attention of Lady Gaga, who invited him to speak at her Born This Way Foundation, whose mission is to support the mental and emotional wellness of young people by putting their needs, ideas and voices first Now, Castellani has become a voice for the communities that support him, using his platform to fight for LBGTQ+ rights and raise mental health awareness.
