London, GB

As a news and features reporter at PinkNews, I am privileged to amplify diverse voices and share stories that shape the lives of the LGBTQ+ community. Focusing on UK politics, trans joy, queer issues around the world and LGBTQ+ history, I am dedicated to shedding light on the triumphs, barriers and progress within our beautiful and resilient community. US Politics: With a keen eye for political developments, I provide in-depth coverage of LGBTQ+ rights within the US political landscape. By analysing legislation and key figures, I empower readers to understand the impact of political decisions on queer folks. Through informative features and interviews, I explore the intersectionality of queer issues with other societal concerns. Trans Joy: Celebrating and uplifting trans voices is at the heart of my work. I showcase the vibrancy, resilience and achievements of the trans community, offering a platform to share their stories of triumph and happiness. By highlighting the experiences and successes of trans people, I aim to foster a more inclusive future and pushback against the existing anti-trans bias in the media and society. Global Queer Issues: With a global perspective, I explore LGBTQ+ issues beyond borders, shedding light on the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ people worldwide. By amplifying stories of activism and progress, I encourage understanding, empathy and solidarity through investigative pieces and analysis on international LGBTQ+ issues. LGBTQ+ History: Recognising the importance of our shared history, I delve into the rich tapestry of LGBTQ+ heritage. Through engaging narratives and gripping content, I uncover lesser-known stories and figures and key historical events, honouring their contributions to our community.
