CHRIS PAUL
(RAINBOWS) FARIAS
Chris is an award-winning creative strategist, storyteller, and online creator with hundreds of thousands of followers. They first went viral after asking a local bakery for “the gayest cake ever” to celebrate their marriage to husband Jared.
Chris is the founder of Unicorn Rebellion, a creative branding agency, and speaks with students, educators, and organizations about creativity, identity, and happiness. Based in Ontario, Chris lives with Jared and a joyful menagerie of animals — chickens, parrots, bunnies, dogs, guinea pigs (obviously), and a tortoise named Rock Hudson.
Chris was recently awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal for philanthropy and advocacy for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
