Sangram:Thanks for having me, Spiffy! AtUnited Nations’ Global Pulse, we build innovative sustainable solutions to solve the world’s biggest problems, from poverty, food insecurity, and health to climate change and peace. The aim is to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Kenneth:Thanks for having me, Spiffy!ThroughThe Trans Capitalist L.L.C, I am addressing financial illiteracy within the LGBTQIA+ community, heavily focused on the transgender community. The statistics are horrible for the transgender community, especially trans* people of color. Did you know that the trans* people of color unemployment rate is four times higher than the national average? Did you know that it's said that trans* people are likely to have a salary of $10k/ year? These statistics are accurate because I lived that life where I was transitioning (female to male) myself. So, I want to make sure that any trans people or LGBTQIA+ do not have to go through that, or if they did, I want to make sure I can help them get back on their feet to feel empowered, knowledgeable, and inspired.
Jon:Thanks for having me, Spiffy! The main challenge is the under-representation and limited visibility of LGBTQ+ people in both sports and sports media. I startedSports Media LGBT+as a UK industry network to foster a sense of community, and it has expanded into advocacy, consultancy, and digital publishing, with supporters worldwide. Our mission is to encourage more positivity and responsible sharing of sporting stories from lesbian, gay, bi, and trans folk that focuses primarily on how authenticity boosts performance.
