award winning Writer, strategist & campaigner.
I work at the intersection of LGBTQ+ equality, neurodivergence, disability and culture.
I’ve been recognised as Stonewall’s Young Campaigner of the Year, received the inaugural MTV EMA Generation Change Award, and been listed among the Evening Standard’s Most Influential People in London and Attitude’s 101 LGBTQ+ Trailblazers. In 2025, I was shortlisted for Campaigner of the Year at the DIVA Awards, named one of the Independent’s Top 50 LGBTQ+ Peovple, and included on the Diversity Power List.
I’m a speaker and trainer across business, charity, culture and education. People bring me in because I’ll say the thing others won’t - but I’ll also give you a framework to fix it. I balance challenge with clarity. I don’t believe in performative gestures or seasonal allyship because strangely enough queer disabled people exist year-round and the barriers we face exist, too.. I focus on what actually changes systems, culture and outcomes.
I’m also the founder of Pansy Studios, a queer-led marketing agency and creative platform. We’re building the UK’s largest directory of LGBTQ+ freelance talent and helping organisations create campaigns that are rooted in community rather than optics. Inclusive work can be strategic, ambitious and commercially sharp - and I’m in the business of proving that every day.
I wrote it because visibility without safety isn’t progress, and because “support” without action doesn’t change anything meaningfully.
My debut book, Outrage: How To Fight For LGBTQ+ Lives (Bluebird, Pan Macmillan, 2025), was named a Foyles Top 10 Book, became a Bookshop.org bestseller in its first month, and was later selected as Book of the Month by the Booksellers Association in 2026. It’s part rallying cry, part handbook, combing political analysis grounded in lived experience with practical guide. The book is now used by organisations, educators and community groups as a practical tool for real-world change.
WHAT I OFFER
Writing & thought leadership
I’m a best-selling author & write with authority, precision, and purpose, producing work that shapes public conversation, influences policy, and supports meaningful cultural change. My writing sits at the intersection of LGBTQ+ equality, disability, neurodivergence, inclusion, and culture, and is grounded in both lived experience and deep research. I’m trusted to handle complex, emotionally charged subjects with clarity and care, without diluting their political or social urgency
Strategy & advisory work
I work with organisations wanting to embed LGBTQ+, disability, and neurodivergent inclusion meaningfully, not performatively. Often brought in when the stakes are high: during periods of growth, scrutiny, internal change, or reputational risk. My role is to bring clarity, challenge assumptions, help leadership teams make decisions that stand up ethically, legally, & culturally. My approach is honest, direct, and solutions-focused to help organisations act with integrity, confidence, and credibility in the real world.
Pansy studios
I’m the founder of Pansy Studios, a queer-led marketing agency and creative platform delivering high-performance, inclusive marketing for brands, charities, and cultural institutions. I work with organisations navigating complex, high-stakes marketing challenges - particularly where inclusion, identity, and public scrutiny intersect. My work is strategy-led, culturally informed, and designed to deliver outcomes, not just visibility.
Pansy Studios is also home to the UK’s largest directory of LGBTQ+ freelance talent, enabling me to build teams that are not only excellent, but genuinely representative and rooted in lived experience. This means clients get senior-level strategy alongside world-class creative delivery, without bloated agency structures or extractive models.
Speaking, keynotes & panels
I deliver keynote talks and panel contributions that are sharp, accessible, and grounded in lived reality - not corporate platitudes or surface-level DEI messaging. My talks combine analysis, storytelling, and practical frameworks, helping audiences understand both why inclusion matters and what to do next. Topics include: LGBTQ+ inclusion and practical ways to support staff and communities, neurodivergence and disability inclusion in workplaces and institutions, building inclusive cultures & turning values, policy, and intention into real-world action. I speak regularly to audiences across business, charity, education, arts, and public sector organisations, and I’m known for making difficult or sensitive topics understandable without softening their urgency.
