On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

🌟Feedback from previous participants has been overwhelmingly positive

Can you describe your overall experience of the Anti-Racism Training session?

'It was thoughtful, and provided space for us to really reflect and ask ourselves some challenging questions. 'I found the session informative, safe, inclusive and respectful. The atmosphere generated by Steve enabled everyone to share experiences, insights and difficulties which were enormously helpful to me. It was quite tough at times as it should be with such a subject and I was tired by the end! Steve was very conscious of the toll the training may have taken and actively encouraged us to consider our own self-care.'

'I welcomed the opportunity to be included in a space where the focus was on driving the anti racism agenda within our organisations. The content was good quality. I particularly appreciated the topic of a balanced approach and exploring the competencies, courage and confidence. Steven was a warm and engaging facilitator, sharing his own lived experiences was a powerful narrative.'

Overall Experience 'I found Steve to be really engaging and authentic. His knowledge on the subject was heartfelt, but also academic so it felt very balanced and true.' 'It was a really thought-provoking day. I really enjoyed the frameworks and exercises. It was a lovely group' 'Excellent. Full day was needed to allow subject to be discussed without rushing. Pitched at a practical level.'

Visited the new plasma @givebloodnhs.bsky.social donor centre in Birmingham despite the rain. 🌧️ The process took about two hours, but the staff was fantastic, and it helps so many people. Plus, biscuits afterward! 🍪 Save lives, give plasma. #GivePlasma #SaveLives #Birmingham

Through www.AntiRacismLeaderCoaching.co.uk , I support leaders to develop the competence, confidence & courage to address systemic racism. If you’re looking for support to develop as a fearless Anti-Racism Leader, you are in the right place! Let's create a more equitable world together #AntiRacism

As a keynote speaker, I aim to connect with audience, spark energy, activate belief, create a sense of purpose and inspire meaningful action, leaving a lasting impression. Bridging the gap between expert knowledge and relatability I draw on a depth of knowledge and breadth of experience

Battling mental illness since my teens, I've faced depression, bipolar disorder, and suicidal ideation. Of dual-ethnicity, racialised as Black racism has been a constant in my life. These experiences fuel my commitment for equity and justice.

With over a decade of experience, I've led initiatives to address racism in organisations as well as work to improve access, experience and outcomes for people with severe & enduring mental illnesses.

Get to know me a bit better. A brief🧵:
I'm Steve Gilbert OBE, a keynote speaker, consultant, and coach dedicated to tackling racism and improving mental health outcomes. Excited to connect with this vibrant community! #Introduction #Bluesky

You too 😃. It’s so good to see all the people I used to interact with on Twitter.
