In this heartfelt episode I sit down with Denise from Rainbow Remix to unpack the complex emotions and fears surrounding recent political turmoil in the U.S.
Despite living oceans apart—Lisa in Australia and Denise in the UK—we explore how the LGBTQI+ community worldwide can come together, offering validation, support, and action to those who feel unseen and unsafe.
Together, we share valuable resources, practical ways to be an ally, and the critical importance of small gestures in creating safe spaces. This episode reminds us all that even across borders, the power of empathy and solidarity can make a profound difference.
Tune in for a grounding conversation that strengthens the resolve to stand with and for each other. 🌈💙
