Part 2!

It is currently 2026, I initially wanted to put this series out a lot quicker! (Many these conversations I’ve been holding on to for a few months now!) I’ve been feeling a little guilty about the delay, until recently I decided that it’s a good thing. It’s meant I spent a lot of the past year thinking about this one topic. 

This episode spans 3 different conversations I’ve had this past year about the state of our rights- and what does it look like to stand in pride every day.

Chapter 1: Brighton with Sara Savage (Sarah’s Brighton)

I sat with Sarah Savage (CEO of Trans Pride Brighton) after this the 2025 event to talk about her experience of the day- and all the things happening behind the scenes that 15k+ attendees never learn about! As well as how Sarah has already begun her emotional preparations for Trans Pride Brighton 2026!!

Chapter 3: Trans Problem with Phat Problem

Phat Problem is a Brighton based punk band that was scheduled to perform at the Trans Pride Brighton ’25 stage but never made it after member Frankie was arrested for supporting Palestine a little too loudly.

I talked to Frankie and the band to get the story of the day and why it was important to them to stand on that stage especially to speak up for Palestine.
