LGBT History Month so far… I’ve attended 2 events so far for LGBT History Month.  Both events were clear that they were inclusive of bisexuals, unlike most LGBT history month events that are LGGGGGG….t The launch of Expansions at Watney Street Library was fab!  Several artists and creators presented their work on the walls.  There […]

I spoke at Queer Black Spaces 3 last night; a rare LGBT+ event in Black History Month.  During the event I listened to other Artists of Colour as they spoke about erasure of Queer people of colour in recent history, and how important archives are.  I was taken with just how much of history there […]

Stage 2* of the Bi’s of Colour History Project is underway.  I aim to interview bisexual people of colour on their lives and on the common themes that arose in the Bi’s of Colour survey report.  I also want to include photographs of the interviewees, alongside ephemera relating to bi/pan/fluid people of colour.

I am based in London, but I am able to travel to carry out interviews in the following places: Brighton, Manchester, Nottingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol, Cardiff, Dublin and Belfast.  For interviewees outside of these cities, I can email a list of questions.  

This is where your help is needed.  I’ve set up a Go Fund Me page where you can donate for this campaign: http://www.gofundme.com/bochistory

Individuals: I know money is tight for all of us, but if you can donate even a small amount, it will help this campaign.

LGBTIQA organisations, you can help me to complete this work.  If you’ve read the Bi’s of Colour Report, you will know how vital this is.  Your assistance will be added to the Stage 3 exhibition/display.  You’ll get publicity for supporting a very marginalised group of people.  

Your donations will help to pay for travel, and to reimburse participants for their time.  I need to pay for photography and printing.  I cannot do this without your help.  There is currently nothing like this out there.  It doesn’t have to be like that.

If anyone wants to contact me to discuss how to get involved with this project, email me at bis.of.colour@gmail.com

It was a real treat for me to represent the B in LGBT at Diverse Voices, an event for U.K Black History Month.  She was joined by the talented Andra Simons, Thomas Glave and MC Angel.  The night held spoken word delights including a tale of being lost in the Carribbean sea, dealing with street […]
