Widely known as Lady Phyll – partly due to her decision to reject an MBE in the New Year’s Honours’ list to protest Britain’s role in formulating anti-LGBTQI+ penal codes across its empire – she is also the executive director of Kaleidoscope Trust, an organisation working to uphold the human rights of LGBTQI+ people around the world; a community builder and organiser; an Albert Kennedy Trust patron, and a public speaker focusing on race, gender, sexuality and class. She’s regularly called upon to advise nascent LGBTQI+ organisations around the world to help leaders create cogent organising strategies, establish robust partnership networks and work effectively in service of the LGBTQI+ community.Access guide: <a href="https://www.accessable.co.uk/venues/stratford-library" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.accessable.co.uk/venues/stratford-library</a>O﻿rganiser: Queer NewhamQueer Newham is a local initiative to raise awareness on gender equality and support the well-being of the LGBTQA+ community in Newham (east London).w﻿ww.queernewham.co.uk
