Stonewall BAME/PoC LGBTQ Role Model Programme

Stonewall's BAME/PoC LGBTQ Role Models programme was an excellent opportunity for participants to reflect on what being a person of colour and LGBTQ individually meant to them, and how they can play an active role in furthering inclusion and acceptance without exception. The mission of the programme was to ensure that LGBTQ people of colour have visible role models in their communities and see celebrations of difference and intersectionality wherever they live, shop, work, socialise and pray. The programme created a space for participants to: - Celebrate BAME and/or PoC LGBTQ identities - Explore the challenges BAME and/or PoC LGBTQ people face in society - Establish practical ways of stepping up as a BAME and/or LGBTQ role model - Create a network of people with shared or similar experiences - Understand how to be more resilient and practice positive self-care
