Ambassador Raymi Sambo is down-to-earth about his coming out. "I had a boyfriend and I told my family that. I felt I didn't owe them an explanation. They didn't tell me they were straight either."
Raymi loves to create, invent and execute new things. This is why he started directing and producing in addition to acting. Raymi creates his own work, for others and for himself. For instance, he has had his own theatre company (V.I.G.) for ten years and has been associated with theatre group ZEP for nine years. Since two years, he has also been producing films. In these, he mainly deals with the portrayal of the LGBT group.
"It's time LGBT people were given a place in the media. Not as caricatures, but as real people. Where are the series, films, theatre plays in which same-sex love is portrayed in a beautiful, honest way? That you can show to the world that the problems we have are human, regardless of colour or orientation?
Pride Ambassador since 2015
