We asked Joanne to join us for National Inclusion Week, to talk to us about sexual orientation, gender identity and trans inclusion. Joanne’s talk was insightful, cheerful and warm. The audience were undoubtedly engaged, proactively asked questions and listened intently to the heartfelt real stories of Joanne’s experiences. The audience were a mixture of ages and seniority – all benefiting from the talk in different ways. We learnt the importance of pro-nouns, and how important it is to be an ally, and the ways in which you can be one. This is the second time we’ve asked Joanne to join us, and we look forward to the next.
