It’s been another busy week of telling the World that trans people are just ordinary people who want to be happy – and it’s done from my home studio in a spare bedroom…
I delivered trans awareness sessions to staff at Coventry City Council, Stonewater (housing association group), Enfield Council and Leicestershire NHS Partnerships Trust.
I was also took part in an extensive panel discussion in India and I was a guest for 2 podcast recordings and an interview on Instagram Live.
I also fitted in a photography job, a hair appointment and a party – yes, a real party with real people! If all that wan’t enough, I had to deal with a leaking water cylinder in my house, resulting in water pouring through my ceiling.
It’s all a bit crazy at the moment (being Pride month), but I’m absolutely loving it! I have another full-on week next week too.
Here is a lovely recommendation on LinkedIn from Maria Hathaway, Financial Controller – Business Partnering at Stonewater:
“Katie held a session with Stonewater, talking about “What it’s like to be transgender? “ and “Tips for being a Trans ally”. Katie’s talk was inspiring, educational and entertaining. She was engaging, honest and her use of humour in her story telling really enabled her to connect well with the audience. The practical tips she gave on how to be a trans ally and also what companies can do to ensure their workforce is trans-inclusive were so helpful and I know that everyone who attended the session felt more informed and better equipped to support colleagues, customers, friends and family members going forward.”
Here are some of the comments that were left in the chat at the end of my session with Coventry City Council:
