To mark the end of Pride month, this new episode will be looking at creating queer joy, determination and representation
BY ELLA GAUCI
As we head towards the end of Pride Month this year, it’s important to look towards the future for how we can improve the lives of LGBTQIA people globally. Our editor-in-chief Roxy Bourdillon sat down with the Inclusion and Diversity Manager at Kantar Leigh Kelly Andrews and the Global Head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Valeria Piaggio to dive into our DIVA Survey which was published during Lesbian Visibility Week in April this year.
This year’s survey compiled the responses of 2,101 LGBTQIA women, non-binary people, and their allies to help us look to the future and how we can make this world a more inclusive, diverse, and accepting place. The results revealed that there is still a lot to do to make LGBTQIA people feel safe in neighbourhoods, public spaces, and in the workplace around the world.
Join Roxy, Leigh, and Valeria to unpack this data and think about how we can use it in the future to build more inclusive environments for everyone. This episode in particular looks at the role of brands and the role they play in ending negative stereotypes about the LGBTQIA community.
