LGBTQ+ VOICES
An Intersectional Perspective

Powered by

Welcome to our LGBTQ+ Voices Storytelling Series 2023 proudly supported by Jacobs.

Our storytelling series brings an intersectional perspective to centre LGBTQ+ voices. We amplify their voices, acknowledging Pride Month is rooted in protest. Their stories speak truth to power.

Let this be a celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride. Let us come together and champion queer lives as symbols of love, freedom, and power to advocate for change.

Each of our storytellers share their journeys with us and speak to how these inform the work they do today.
