Ellen’s writing and advocacy have established her as one of the UK’s most trusted voices on inclusion - known for turning complex, emotionally charged topics into clear, practical frameworks for change. Her work sits at the intersection of LGBTQ+ equality, neurodivergence, disability, and culture.

Her debut book Outrage: How To Fight For LGBTQ+ Lives (Bluebird, Pan Macmillan, 2025) was named a Foyles Top 10 Book and became a bestseller on Bookshop.org. Part rallying cry, part handbook, Outrage blends political analysis with lived experience to help readers understand not only why the fight continues, but what to do next.

Ellen’s work has been recognised widely: she was named Stonewall’s Young Campaigner of the Year, won the inaugural MTV EMA Generation Change Award, and has been listed among London’s Most Influential People by the Evening Standard, Attitude’s 101 LGBTQ+ Trailblazers. In 2025 she was shortlisted for Campaigner of the Year at the DIVA Awards, named on the Independent’s Top 50 LGBTQ+ People and was included on the Diversity Power List.

A sought-after speaker and trainer, Ellen has delivered keynotes, workshops, and talks for organisations across business, charity, culture, and education. She is known for combining clarity, compassion, and wit- - leaving audiences informed, energised, and genuinely equipped to make change.

Alongside her writing and speaking, Ellen is the founder of Pansy Studios, a queer-led marketing agency and creative platform. It is home to the UK’s largest directory of LGBTQ+ freelance talent, supporting freelancers while helping brands build truly inclusive, community-rooted campaigns.

Her journalism and essays have appeared in The Guardian, Vogue Business, Cosmopolitan, HuffPost, BRICKS Magazine and more.
