Kathy - President of Wortley Pride

<p data-start="0" data-end="309">Welcome to Season 2, Episode 12 of In Service to Rainbows! I’m your host, Brooklyn Vennell, and today I’m joined by Kathy (they/she), the President and founder of Wortley Pride here in London, Ontario. Kathy is a Non-Binary Lesbian whose story is one of resilience, authenticity, and service to community.</p> <p data-start="311" data-end="743">Growing up, Kathy knew they weren’t like their friends—they didn’t like boys the way others did. They pushed those feelings down, eventually married a man, and had children. While Kathy doesn’t regret that part of their life, the truth of who they were could never stay hidden forever. After a divorce and later finding love with a wife, Kathy has stepped fully into their authentic self, supported by family and grounded in love.</p> <p data-start="745" data-end="1029">Of course, authenticity doesn’t make them immune to the hate that surrounds us in these difficult times. Kathy shares openly about how that has touched their life, while also showing how service to the community—and the love that comes back in return—keeps them inspired and strong.</p> <p data-start="1031" data-end="1136" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">This is a conversation about courage, truth, and the power of building spaces where all of us can belong.</p>

Sista Patricia

<p data-start="0" data-end="258">Welcome to Season 2, Episode 11 of In Service to Rainbows! I’m your host, Brooklyn Vennell, and today I have the absolute honour of talking with Sista Patricia, a self-described butch lesbian whose life has been defined by pride, activism, and community.</p> <p data-start="260" data-end="593">Sista Patricia knew early in her life that she was a lesbian, and once she embraced that truth, she immediately sought out her community and dove in with both feet. In the 1970s, she stood shoulder to shoulder with others in the fight for queer rights, proud of how the community came together to demand acknowledgment and respect.</p> <p data-start="595" data-end="926">In our conversation, we not only revisit those powerful moments in queer history, but we also celebrate the present—Sista Patricia’s deep honor at being chosen as the Grand Marshal for the 2025 London Pride Parade. She led the parade at the head of a group of bikers, sharing in the joy, love, and strength that Pride represents.</p> <p data-start="928" data-end="1024" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">This is a story of resilience, solidarity, and celebration, and I can’t wait for you to hear it.</p>

In this first episode together, we talk about Liv’s personal journey, and then branch out into some of the topics that affect so many of us—building and finding community, navigating life on hormones, and the complexities of family.</p> <p data-start="619" data-end="810" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">This is the beginning of a new chapter for In Service to Rainbows, and I’m so excited to have Liv with me as we continue these conversations.
