Manchester | #BuildingEquality: The importance of role models and real-life reflection
We need to see real-life reflections of ourselves to feel represented, inspired and motivated - to be the best version of us. Role models whether in poetry, pose and plays, or on construction sites, can help to break down barriers and challenge misconceptions by showing others what can be achieved. This evening looks at just that.
The importance of visible role models, in all aspects of life, has never been more important. We have seen great strides towards LGBT+ equality through laws and legislation, and we have more visible LGBT+ role models than ever before – including guests Sue Sanders; Sally Carr; Paul Fairweather; and more.
However, recent statistics and surveys show us that there is still progress to be made, if we are going to achieve full equity for LGBT+ individuals. And to achieve this we need real-life, every day, visible role models.
At this event, Building Equality will celebrate Greater Manchester role models. They recognise the organisations and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to creating wholly welcoming and inclusive workplaces for LGBT+ individuals.
