Lady Phyll.
(she/her)
Honorary Award Phyll Opoku-Gyimah is the nucleus of the award-winning celebration and protest that is UK
Black Pride. Widely known as Lady Phyll – partly due to her decision to reject an MBE in the
New Year’s Honours' list to protest Britain’s role in formulating anti-LGBTQI+ penal codes
across its empire – she was also the executive director of Kaleidoscope Trust, an organisation
working to uphold the human rights of LGBTQI+ people around the world; a community builder and organiser; an Albert Kennedy Trust patron, and a public speaker focusing on race, gender, sexuality and class. With an honorary doctorate recognising her exceptional contributions, Lady Phyll's over two decades of dedication to human rights advocacy have left an indelible mark. She's regularly called upon to advise nascent LGBTQI+ organisations around the world to help leaders create cogent organising strategies, establish robust partnership networks and work effectively in service of the LGBTQI+ community and inspire all who strive for equality and justice.
