ABOUT

I am a writer, podcast producer and community organiser, who has a special interest in using audio to bring to life many of the hidden and untold stories found in archives. A founding director of Aunt Nell production company and a queer historian, I have worked with the likes of the Barbican, BBC, The National Archives, Bishopsgate Institute and Queer Britain.

I was co-host and co-producer on the award-winning podcast The Log Books (2018-21), as well as co-producing the critically acclaimed Black and Gay, Back in the Day (2022), Queer Roots and Routes (2023) and The Quilt (2024).

My poetry has been broadcast on BBC Radio 4's Short Cuts and most recently on The Quilt in partnership with The Charles Causley Trust. I have performed at the National Poetry Library and had work published in Powders Press.

I was a Trustee and then Co-Chair of LGBTQ+ charity Switchboard from 2014 to 2022, and I continue to manage their archives at Bishopsgate Institute. I have given countless talks highlighting the history of the charity across the country, including the Museum of Liverpool and the Barbican. I also worked with Queer Britain on their recent exhibition We Are Queer Britain and on BBC's AIDS: The Unheard Tapes and Sky's Positive. Most recently I was a contributor and advisor on the short film The Callers, and am currently working on a long form documentary about Switchboard as a Consultant Producer. 

I am also the co-founder of Get In Her Ears a community organisation that supports and promotes women, non-binary and LGBTQ+ people in music. I present a monthly radio show on Soho Radio.

In 2021 I was named one of top 101 LGBTQ+ Trailblazers by Attitude Magazine, and in 2022 was included in Stonewall and DIVA’s Pride Power List featured in The Guardian.
