"Jesus Would Be Hanging Out With The Queer Community" w/ Jonathan Barbe

Let's Have A Flagathon 🏳️‍🌈

Another early morning Solo-sode but at least this time I got dressed (almost). This week, I’m reflecting on the incredible conversations I’ve had about queer midlife and the vibrant stories that shape our community. From the powerful insights shared by Saba in our last episode to the beautiful event I hosted with Layla McCay at Queer Britain, I’m reminded of the strength we gain from sharing our journeys. We’re in a moment that feels heavy, especially with recent political shifts trying to erase our visibility. But let’s remember to uplift each other and keep the conversations going. Your voice matters! Join me in the Global LGBTQ+ Survey and help shape the narrative of our community. Take the survey at stillherestillqueernowwhat.com What’s your story? Let’s keep the dialogue open.

"I'm at that age where I feel completely free" with Saba Ali

In this episode, Saba Ali shares her journey through activism, her approach to leading campaigns, and the importance of humanising social change through personal stories. Saba talks wonderfully about how she balances her powerful work with vulnerability, humour, and authenticity. You should know that Saba also talks openly about the personal impact of childhood trauma on her mental health just in case that feels like a sensitive topic for you. There's always someone to speak to at https://switchboard.lgbt/ if you need to.
