On Tuesday 30 June, neighbourhood operator Get Living will host ‘Speak with Pride’, an interactive virtual event with well-known LGBTQ+ panellists. With representation from across the community, the speakers will delve into a range of topics including intersectionality, trans rights and the importance of action.
Anna Fearon, co-founder of the Black Exchange, will start off the evening off at 5pm talking about intersectionality, followed by an explanation of what LGBTQIA actually means in practice by award-winning presenter and activist Anick.
At 7pm, author and activist Charlie Craggs will have an open conversation about trans rights, while writer and journalist Sharan Dhaliwhal will take over at 8pm to discuss the need for real-world action to effect change. At the end of the evening, viewers can take part in a live recording and Q&A with the hosts of Qmmunity, the British Podcast Award-winning series discussing LGBTQ+ culture, history and identity. In celebration and recognition of Pride month, Get Living, the UK’s pioneer build-to-rent operator, is encouraging residents in its Manchester and London neighbourhoods to tune in, as well as the wider public. No registration is required to attend the event, which will be streamed live on the Get Living Facebook page.
