Alliance Network East Midlands - the importance of intersectionality

This took place on Thursday 29 April 2021 and is now available on-demand. The content in this recording was correct as of the original webinar date.

The Alliance Network are excited to tell you that we are extending our LGBTQI+ network in the East Midlands region.

The Alliance Network East Midlands brings together a diverse range of local employers to:

• Promote and share best practice
• Support each other to be more inclusive
• Reach out and connect to our communities
• Promote the East Midlands as a destination for a diverse workforce

We were delighted to be joined by:

• Rev Jide Macaulay, from House of Rainbow
• Maryam Din, from Stonewall / QTIPOC Notts
• Luke Williams, from BPP
• Dr Ju Gosling, from Regard

Our panel focused on the key theme of intersectionality, and the breadth of experience of a diverse LGBTQI+ community.

Our steering group would also love to hear from you if you would like to collaborate with us on this project. If would like to become a member of the network please click here.
