Rapport and EmbRace You Network Got Together To Mark UK Black Pride

UK Black Pride is Europe’s largest celebration for LGBTQ+ people of African, Asian, Caribbean, Latin American, and Middle Eastern descent. UK Black Pride is a safe space to celebrate diverse sexualities, gender identities, cultures, gender expressions, and backgrounds. Importantly, UK Black Pride promotes unity and cooperation among LGBTQ+ people of diasporic communities (those living outside of their homeland) in the UK, as well as their friends and families.

This year, some of Pride @ Rapport and EmbRace You Network got together to mark UK Black Pride on Friday, 2 July with their theme ‘Love and Rage.’ Celebrating this was a great way to demonstrate allyship for both LGBTQ+ colleagues, and for their culturally and racially diverse workforce. Rapport is proud to be vocal in supporting UK Black Pride.

The team got together at Head Office to watch UK Black Pride live on the big screen. The online event showcased workshops, interviews, meditation, and a lot of exciting music and talent!

“Our 2021 theme claps back against the many ways we are told who we are allowed to be, and how to grieve, love, and rage. We will not be quiet, we will not be meek. We will be heard, and we will be loud.” Lady Phyll and the UK Black Pride team.
