ABOUT THIS EPISODE

UK Black Pride, Intersectionality & Queer Activism: Lady Phyll

We’re joined by Lady Phyll, activist, community organiser and founder of UK Black Pride, the largest Pride celebration for Black and people of colour in Europe.

In this powerful conversation, Lady Phyll shares the story behind building UK Black Pride after being laughed at and told there would “never be a Black Pride in the UK.” What started as a small grassroots gathering has grown into a movement attended by tens of thousands, creating space for Black queer joy, safety and community.

We explore Lady Phyll’s upbringing as a Ghanaian woman growing up in the UK, navigating racism in school, discovering activism through social justice work and the complicated journey of coming out in a deeply religious family. She also speaks candidly about racism within LGBTQ+ spaces, intersectionality, and why creating spaces specifically for Black queer people is still necessary today.
