My mission is to help create a fairer world where every person's gender is accepted and respected. This is the first of a series of Video Blogs and Podcasts designed to help achieve that mission - I'll be here everyday throughout September tackling the issues of the day and helping to make sense of everything Gender and LGBTQ.
Today I will be speaking with Diversity and Inclusion expert, Jackie Handy. From a background in Recruitment, Jackie has learned about diversity and inclusion the hard way, from negative personal experiences. She is a fellow of the Professional Speakers Association and has been sharing her wisdom throughout the global speaking federation during 2020, including a trip to Namibia.
Today I want to talk about her experiences and how they have helped her to change attitudes and practices in the corporate world. We will also be talking about her book "The Little Book of Belonging" and the ways we can make simple positive step to becoming more inclusive.

Episode 43 - Rose Simkins - Stop Hate
Hate incidents and Hate Crime and sadly a part of life and have been increasing over the past few years. So what do you do if you are a victim or witness? Reporting the incident or crime to the police is essential but we k ow that most hate incidents and crimes go unreported, especially in the LGBTQ community. Often what we also need is to be able to just talk to someone about it and that is where Stop Hate UK comes in. Established 25 years ago, the charity provides a 24 hour service where victims and witnesses of hate crimes and incidents can get advice or just talk to a sympathetic ear about what has happened.
Today I am talking with Rose Simkins, the founder and CEO of the service, who is passionate about delivering help to victims and witnesses to hate, about the service, the current challenges and why this service is so important for people in the LGBTQ community.

Episode 42 - LGBT History Month
Founded in 2005 by Sue Sanders from Schools Out, LGBT+ History is an opportunity every year for schools, colleges, public bodies and private organisations to celebrate and promote LGBT+ History. I have emphasised Schools ad Colleges, because this Month of celebration was inspired by the repeal of Section 28 and has always had a strong focus on schools providing a wealth of resources and materials to enable Teachers to actively promote LGBT History.
Today I am going to talk a little about the celebration and encourage you to think about how you can contribute to the 2021 LGBT+ History Month events and make your organisation more LGBT inclusive.
