Queer Leadership 101 | Online

New for 2025, We Create Space is thrilled to introduce 'Queer Leadership 101: Lesson learnt from my journey as an LGBTQ+ change maker' - our new online, bite-sized series focusing on change makers and role models creating positive change locally and globally.

During each 30 minute session, you'll hear all about our guest speakers' stories as they share more about who they are, what they do & how they show up in the world as a Queer Leader. There will also be an opportunity for questions & discussion.

If you are someone who envisions yourself as a Queer Leader now or in the future, this is for you! The sessions aim to empower you with insights, inspiration & practical take-aways centred around our core pillars of community building: Inclusion, Wellbeing & Leadership. We hope you can join us as we come together to shine a spotlight on our Queer Leaders & learn, connect & grow as a community.

Guest speaker

Our guest speaker this month is Pius Kennedy (they/them). Pius is a bold and passionate queer leader from Uganda, currently serving as Programs Manager at Africa Queer Network (AQNET). With over five years of experience in LGBTQ+ advocacy, research, and community organising, Pius has led transformative initiatives focused on health equity, crisis response, and leadership development for LGBTQ+ individuals across Uganda. Pius is known for supporting shelters, coordinating acts of kindness campaigns, and fostering regional collaborations that centres community voices. As someone who has lived through systemic violence and discrimination, Pius uses both personal resilience and professional strategy to push for inclusive systems. His work represents resistance, restoration, and the hope that queer Ugandans can live freely and with pride.

We hope you'll join us for an insightful conversation as we dive into queer leadership according to Pius...
