This wonderful anthology by @katbrownwrites.com, which I was honoured to contribute to, is now out after losing its original home in the Unbound scandal. A tale of important stories always finding a way into the world, even when publishing makes it bloody hard at times. Congratulations Kat 💪 🤩

Fun times hosting a discussion all about appropriation of queer culture for Virgin Radio Pride. My guests Rosie Turner & Char Bailey unpacked some complex questions with both laugh out loud humour and real humanity. Listen out for it on Sunday at 7pm #queer #lgbt
