Writing & Thought Leadership
My debut book, Outrage: How To Fight For LGBTQ+ Lives (Pan Macmillan), was named Indie Book of the Month by the Booksellers Association and selected as a Foyles Top 10 Read.
In Outrage, I map the rollback of LGBTQ+ rights across education, sport, religion, healthcare and public life - and, crucially, set out what practical action actually looks like. It’s both cultural analysis and a handbook for change. The book is now used by educators, campaigners and organisations as a framework for turning values into strategy.
I’ve written viral essays and reported pieces for HuffPost, The Guardian, Cosmopolitan, BRICKS Magazine and The BFI, shaping national conversations around LGBTQ+ rights, disability, culture and representation
The Book of Hope (Pan Macmillan), where I wrote about my experiences of mental health as an LGBTQ+ person, featured alongside writers including Lemn Sissay, Dame Kelly Holmes and Elizabeth Day.
Instructions For A Teenage Armageddon (Hachette), where I am one of 30 leading women from across the globe contributing essays on identity, growing up and changing the world.
Alongside my books and commissioned work, I write regularly on my Substack, Eccentricities - a Featured Substack publication known for sharp political commentary, cultural analysis and deeply personal essays on power, disability, neurodivergence and queer life.
Beyond my own writing, I genuinely love editing the work of others. I’ve worked as a beta reader for a number of publishers, supporting authors in refining manuscripts with structural clarity, political nuance and emotional precision. I’m as invested in helping other people’s ideas land powerfully as I am in shaping my own whether they be about disability justice or George III (yes, I am serious).

I’m particularly well suited to organisations and publications serious about inclusion, equality and cultural change not as branding exercises, but as structural commitments. I specialise in taking complex, emotionally charged or politically fraught issues and making them clear without making them smaller. I combine analysis with accessibility, challenge with practicality, and I always write with one question in mind: what changes because of this?
Outrage: How To Fight For LGBTQ+ Lives
Despite being more visible in mainstream culture than ever before, LGBTQ+ people are facing a dangerous and escalating backlash. I wrote Outrage to make plain the discrimination LGBTQ+ people in the UK and around the world continue to face at increased levels; there has been a marked increase in homophobic and transphobic violence, alongside the steady erosion of rights many believed were secured.
Outrage: How To Fight For LGBTQ+ Lives, first published in 2025 and named Indie Book of the Month by the Booksellers Association in 2026, is my bold, urgent and essential intervention into this moment.
In this book, I lay bare the realities of contemporary LGBTQ+ discrimination, examining how prejudice is embedded across society, from education, sport and religion, to marriage, healthcare, mental health, politics and the media. Written in searing, accessible prose, Outrage is interwoven with personal testimonies from LGBTQ+ people across the globe. These accounts ground the analysis in lived experience, moving beyond headlines to show the real-world consequences of policy decisions, cultural narratives and institutional neglect.
Crucially, Outrage is not only my critique, it is a call to action and I set out practical, achievable steps that individuals, organisations and communities can take to drive meaningful change. From everyday acts of solidarity to collective and structural interventions, the book offers a framework for turning anger, grief and frustration into sustained impact.
Alongside this, Outrage celebrates the people already doing the work. Activists, educators, organisers and creatives who are building safer spaces, challenging misinformation and pushing for justice, often without visibility or support.
Whether you are LGBTQ+, an ally, or someone who cares deeply about human rights and equality, Outrage is essential, illuminating reading. It is a book for anyone who refuses to accept that regression is inevitable and believes that a fairer future is still possible.

Speaking, keynotes & panels
I deliver keynote talks and panel contributions that are sharp, accessible, and grounded in lived reality. Combining analysis, storytelling, and practical frameworks, I help organisations move from inclusion values to real action.
My work focuses on LGBTQ+ inclusion, neurodivergence and disability, and building inclusive cultures across business, charity, education, arts, and the public sector.
Strategy & advisory work
I work with organisations that want to embed LGBTQ+, disability, and neurodivergent inclusion meaningfully, not performatively. I’m 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, and help leadership teams make decisions that stand up ethically, legally, and culturally. My approach is honest, direct, and solutions-focused designed 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.
