Out and Proud: Challenges Around Queer Identity

Point Made

This month our LGBTQ+ inclusion Co-Chair and Media Officer, Megan Evans, hosts the podcast and talks to Maya Joseph-Chavez from Stonewall Housing who also runs https://qpocproject.co.uk/, an organisation for made of and for queer people of colour. We also have two former Centrepoint residents Hannah* and Mia*, a couple who met whilst living in a Centrepoint service.
We will be discussing the realities of being LGBTQ+, female and homeless and how these identities intersect with different cultural backgrounds and upbringing. We will talk about some of the challenges these identities and backgrounds present when it comes to being out and proud.
This month we were lucky enough to be hosted in the CAT Footwear office in Kings Cross and we have a special Q&A at the end with Daisy Flood from CAT talking about their corporate partnership with Centrepoint.
