Come along to this very exciting panel exclusively for disabled LB+ Women. We’ll be joined by some amazing panelists who will be talking about their lived experiences, and there’ll be a chance for some Q+A. This will be a great chance to get together and reflect on life as a disabled LB+ woman.
Our amazing panellists are:
Holly (she/her) is a queer women, based in Manchester who currently works at LGBT Foundation within our services team. Holly is vocal about her experience as an LGBT, disabled person and talks openly about the way that her disability and facial differences shape her experience within LGBT spaces.
Hafsa is an openly bi Muslim, working to raise awareness and visibility for queer people of colour like her. She is also disabled, and talks about the intersections of her identity, and the impact this has. She currently works at Stonewall.
Emma Round (she/they) is a queer disabled activist, and has been involved in activism for over a decade. She has been involved with DPAC, Sisters of Frida, Not Dead Yet UK and other organisations over the years. Their interests lie in exploring radical social models of disablement and its overlaps with queer theory
