Here, UK Black Pride co-founder, executive director of Kaleidoscope Trust, and inspirational LGBTQ+ activist Lady Phyll honours love in all its many different forms. LADY PHYLL’S LETTER: Toni Morrison said, “love is divine only and difficult always” and this moment we inhabit and navigate together is such a concrete example of her wisdom.
Side by side, we are trying our best to keep our heads held high while we fight against a rising tide of hate. In a time as fraught as ours, the love we offer to each other is balm and flame: we at once offer a soothing and love-filled embrace and ignite in each other the fire we need to keep fighting.
