In a world grappling with rising authoritarianism, attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, and deep divisions, Finding My Humanity is more relevant than ever.
Ryan Ubuntu Olson’s memoir is not just a story of personal transformation—it is a call to action, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a roadmap for those seeking to create change in an increasingly uncertain world in these authoritarian times.
Born into a rural, conservative community in Colorado, Ryan struggled to navigate his identity in a world that often sought to diminish it. What began as a deeply personal journey of self-discovery—facing discrimination, love, heartbreak, and loss—became something far greater. Thrust into activism on a conservative Catholic campus, Ryan’s courage to speak out against injustice catapulted him onto the national and international stages. From there, he embarked on a global mission, working alongside thought leaders, human rights advocates, and communities fighting for survival and dignity of all people, everywhere, in all their diversity.
Traveling to the far corners of the world, from Kenya to Jamaica, Peru to Malawi, Cambodia, to Geneva, Ryan became a leading voice in the fight for LGBTQ+ dignity and human rights. His journey took him from the front lines of activism in the US, to supporting advocates around the world in different countries, to the halls of the United Nations, shaping policies, and advocating for those who have been silenced for too long.
But Finding My Humanity is more than just one man’s story—it is a testament to the power of turning one’s ‘why’ into their ‘how’. It is a guide for anyone searching for purpose, a deeper understanding of our interconnectedness as human beings, and the courage to step forward in the face of adversity. Through his experiences, Ryan offers readers a roadmap to transforming personal convictions into meaningful action.
Praise for Finding My Humanity:
“Ryan Ubuntu Olson has not just shared his wonderful and personal journey, he has illuminated a path for others to travel—to deepen connections, understand one’s purpose, and strengthen their own humanity as well.”
—Neil Giuliano, Former President & CEO, GLAAD and San Francisco AIDS Foundation
“A stunning exploration of the beauty of our interconnectedness and the power of our capacity to love... Ryan’s fearless consideration of vulnerability and marginalization is an urgent call to embrace the shared humanity that binds us all.”
—Saraounia Mboka-Boyer, Development Change Maker and Inclusion Engineer
“Reading Finding My Humanity feels like watching the trailer to a movie you cannot wait to see. Ryan’s life journey—filled with highs and lows, adventures in far-off lands, and poignant relationships—is a privilege to witness.”
—Chloe Schwenke, Founder & President, Center for Values in International Development
For those who have ever felt unseen, for those striving to create change in their communities, and for those seeking the courage to embrace love and authenticity in all its forms, Finding My Humanity is a beacon of hope, especially during these times in our modern world where people have lost faith in one another and fear the unknown. Let this book take your breath away and inspire you to build a life of meaning and purpose, and to give back to our shared world- indeed- our shared humanity.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
