Journalist. London. I'm known for my work in LGBT+ rights and data journalism. As a reader, I'm usually sipping through magazines about design, literature and art.
Trying to connect those worlds.
Sharing about my work: I train journalists to report fairly about #LGBTQI people. Journalism can be a more inclusive space, and as a @cityjournalism.bsky.social alum, I had a chance to speak about those ideas with the University

Not in the program, but my favorite part of the Perugia Journalism Festival #ijf25 is reconnecting with brave colleagues who have faced the worst threats for doing great journalism. Exiles, prosecutions, defamation campaigns, financial insecurity... We need solidarity and community care.
