Bobby Berk grew up in a devoutly religious household in one of the most conservative parts of the US. 
He knew he was different from a lot of the people around him - but he didn’t have a way to figure it out.
So he decided to run.
He talks to Bryony about taking an unconventional path to success, the joys of working on Queer Eye -- and the bravest thing he ever did.

 But she wasn’t always so comfortable in her own skin.
