LADY PHYLL
In 2005, Lady Phyll (aka Phyll OpokuGyimah) took the experience she’d garnered in the civil service and combined it with her passion for black and LGBT+ rights, to co-found UK Black Pride. Back then, a few buses took people to the event. These days, the UK’s only event dedicated to celebrating LGBT+ people of colour attracts crowds in the thousands and organises networking and social events through the year.
