In just under an hour I’m giving a talk to a local university for LGBT+ History month and I’m somewhat nervous. Could you please send me positive vibes?

I should have said!
The talk was for the Law School at the University. As many of you know I’m a Solicitor (Lawyer). I’m also a committee member of The Law Society’s LGBT+ Lawyers Division. So the talk was about my experiences of being out in the profession, my work with the committee and the Pride in the Law report that was published last year resulting from a survey on LGBT+ solicitors and our allies’ experiences in the profession. So more really a history of me and current approaches to effecting change.
I’m been a qualified solicitor for 15 years now and much has changed from an equality and diversity point of view in that time but I know some of my fellow lawyers are still struggling with prejudice and homophobia.

15 years, wow! Congratulations! and I’m glad that progress is being made and that you don’t have to be in the closet in your everyday job. Cheers!
