Grateful to Aïda and Asha - powerhouse women for such a thoughtful, intelligent discussion, to Sharon Harris and her team for creating such an amazing space, my gorgeous partner Lisa Smith whom I’m supporting at Cannes Lions and to everyone who joined us in that beautiful space.

We spoke about trans & gender nonconforming visibility, measurable representation + strong data and how brands like M·A·C are proving that purpose and profit are not at odds. When inclusion is woven into every decision, from product development to campaign casting, it builds trust that lasts.

With Aïda Moudachirou-Rebois of M·A·C Cosmetics and Asha Shivaji of the SeeMe Index, we explored what it really takes to centre inclusion at the heart of a global brand, not just in statements, but in structure, in leadership, and in action.

Today at Cannes Lions, with my MAC glam on under the sun and looking out over the sea, I moderated a conversation that felt both timely and urgent.

Our presence is radical.
Our voices are necessary.
And our future? It’s ours to write - fierce, collective, and uncompromising.

Come find me there. Let’s make noise. Let’s make history. Let’s make each other whole.

I’ll be giving a keynote, yes - but more than that, I’ll be holding space. For truth. For resistance. For connection. For all of us who carry stories etched in struggle and soaked in brilliance.✨

A city pulsing with protest and power, layered with the histories of those pushed to the margins-Indigenous, Black, queer. And yet, here we are. Returning. Rising. Refusing to be erased.

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️When we gather, we do it with intention. To honour our joy. To confront injustice. To build something bold and unapologetic.

This June, I’m heading to Washington DC for the WorldPride Human Rights Conference.

The Supreme Court’s ruling is a brutal reminder of how fragile progress can be. I stand firmly with our trans siblings. In law or not, their truth is not up for debate. We see you. We love you. We fight with you. Always. ✊🏾❤️💯

Each of these women brings depth, courage and lived experience to the conversation. Together, we’ll be talking about how bias still operates, who it leaves behind, and how we confront it with truth and action.

I’ll be joined by my dear friend Linda Riley, whose commitment to this community has opened doors for so many. Raga D'silva, a fearless voice for South Asian queer women who speaks with heart and clarity. Sarah Rench, who brings sharp insight into how bias plays out in tech, leadership and beyond.

As a Black African British-Born Lesbian Warrior Woman, being listened to without apology, without compromise, and without having to make ourselves smaller to fit in is what I want to raise on 24 April, where I’ll be speaking at Google, Kings Cross for Lesbian Visibility Week: Challenging the Bias.
