Pride Month learning shouldn’t just raise awareness, it should build real knowledge and practical capability.
When I deliver sessions during Pride month and beyond, my aim is to help staff move beyond “I support LGBTIQA+ people” to “I understand the issues, and I know what to do.”

What people gain from my sessions:

Deep educational insight
- Clear explanations of identity, terminology, intersectionality, and the structural barriers LGBTIQA+ people face, especially racialised communities.
- No jargon. No judgement. Just accessible, evidence‑informed learning.

Practical tools they can use immediately
- How to intervene safely when something isn’t right
- How to communicate assertively, respectfully, and confidently
- How to support all colleagues navigating systems and processes
- How to build everyday allyship into their role
- How to challenge bias without escalating conflict

Space for real questions
People often tell me it’s the first time they’ve been able to ask what they really want to understand.

The result?
Staff leave feeling more informed, more capable, and more confident in creating an inclusive workplace, not just during Pride, but every day.

Truly thankful for the recognition on 's 2026 power list alongside groundbreaking leaders 🙏🏾 shoutout to ***anvisibilityweek and and huge congrats to all celebrated

Absolutely loved delivering this closing keynote for at the ELT Conference. In this highly interactive and participatory session we explored how intersectionality and diversity strengthen excellence in English Language Teaching, challenging the myth that “native speakers” make better teachers. Drawing on research and interactive activities, the session highlighted that the qualities people value most in teachers—such as empathy, clarity and expertise—are unrelated to nationality or accent, and that diverse teaching teams improve both organisational performance and learner outcomes. Participants were encouraged to take practical steps, including removing “native speaker” bias from job adverts, using competency-based hiring criteria and preparing clear responses to discrimination against multilingual teachers.

I turn 58 today! Growing old is a privilege denied to far too many. As I celebrate, I’m acutely aware that countless people in Palestine, DRC, and beyond will never see their next birthday, robbed of their futures through acts of genocide.

December 10th is Human Rights Day. From genocide in Palestine and DRC to attacks on trans rights, erosion of bodily autonomy, marginalisation of disabled people, and systemic racism, the fight for human rights continues.

We must use our voices, platforms, and resources to stand with those whose rights are violated. Silence is complicity. Human rights are not negotiable. They don’t depend on geography, politics, or convenience.

On my 58th birthday, I renew my commitment to justice. I encourage everyone to examine their privilege and ask: how can I use it for good?

The best way to honour Human Rights Day is through action. If you’re able, please support:
