CEO and co-founder of UK Black Pride Lady Phyll is our October/November guest editor, aiming to celebrate, amplify, and support the voices of LGBTQIA people of colour. To commemorate Black History Month in the UK, Lady Phyll has chosen to shine a light on both the joy and challenges of being a queer person of colour through a series of poignant, timely, and powerful articles which span topics such as LGBTQIA rights in Ghana to being a queer Black Buddhist.
