The Emancipation of Leopau

"Leopau" is a very personal nickname only used by those closest to me...just one of those little things that I've kept for myself in an attempt to have some delineation between a public persona and a private life. By christening this blog âThe Emancipation of Leopauâ, I am letting my guard down and inviting my friends to be that much closer to me. Most importantly, I am celebrating the fact that I've grown into a person who no longer feels imprisoned by my insecurities or compelled to try and live up to someone else's vision of "Leo Paulo". I now feel I can honestly say "this is me, the real me, take it or leave it". For the first time in my life, I feel free and unashamed to be who I really am. And that's what the contents of this blog and it's title reflect.
