Dr Catherine Barrett - LGBTI Elder Advocate


Dr Catherine Barrett is the driving force behind a project that advocates for LGBTI elders "Alice's Garage".  While she may be the driver,  the direction the project takes comes from the stakeholders.

Andrew Guy - Actor, Advocate, Activist.



In my first podcast we discussed whether cisgender people should play transgender roles, since we were both cisgender, I thought I should find someone who could talk from their own lived experience.

Andrew is an amazing guy who not only is a trained actor but also an advocate for the transgender community.  

No one person can fully represent a community so this is Andrew's story, and Andrew's story reminds me to be true to yourself and to work hard at your craft.

Julie Bates - Leader, Warrior, Activist!



The life that Julie has lived is truly amazing! From the experiences she has had, to the things that she has achieved.  

I know a lot of people that I call inspiring, but I also use the terms "Warrior" and "Leader" when it comes to Julie.  

Julie's story makes me determined to fight for what I believe in and the human rights I believe we all deserve.
