The Outvertising Podcast

January can be a tough month, but for many, the pandemic has brought additional struggles with mental health, redundancy and isolation - among other stresses. In this episode we talk to advertising and marketing organisation NABS about the services they provide to help and support people in the industry. And we speak to Rose Frimpong, co-host of podcast Two Twos, about settling up the Black LGBTQIA+ Therapy Fund and taking part in Bumble’s #MyLoveisBlackLove campaign. Plus stay tuned to the end for a special message from host Joanne Oatts.  Credits Hosted by Joanne Oatts Producer/Editor Rosie Ann Boxall Podcast Assistants Olivia Hylton Pennant and Declan Purcell SHOW NOTES NABS NABS Advice line: https://nabs.org.uk/how-we-can-help/advice-line/ Call 0800 707 6607 between 9am – 5.30pm or email support@nabs.org.uk Other support services https://nabs.org.uk/how-we-can-help/ Donate to NABS: https://nabs.org.uk/about-nabs/donations/ Rose Frimpong Two Twos Podcast: https://linktr.ee/TwoTwosPodcast The episode with Rev Jide McCaulay: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5Ti0T5HgR88EKPDvfYofUc?si=Zpk6UxM-TFi68I4xs8KMIQ Exist Loudly Fund: https://www.instagram.com/existloudly/ Black Trans Foundation: https://linktr.ee/blacktransfoundation Black, African and Asian Therapy Network (BAATN): https://www.baatn.org.uk/ Bumble’s ‘My Love is Black Love’ Campaign: https://thebeehive.bumble.com/myloveisblacklove Bumble Carni Stories: Rose + her girlfriend, Twiggy https://player.vimeo.com/video/453632003 Rose Frimpong in Vogue: https://www.vogue.co.uk/profile/rose-frimpong Just Like Us campaign: https://www.justlikeus.org/younger-me Black LGBTQIA Fund https://twitter.com/blacklgbtfund?lang=en Donate: https://www.gofundme.com/f/black-lgbtqia-therapy-fund?utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_lico+share-sheet Joanne Oatts on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/joanneoatts Get in touch with Outvertising Email: INFO@OUTVERTISING.ORG Twitter: https://twitter.com/outvertising Insta: https://www.instagram.com/outvertising/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/outvertisinguk/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/outvertising/

Joanne Oatts talks to Tea Uglow (she/they), Creative Director at Google's Creative Lab in Sydney, which works with organisations to explore the space between technology and the arts - and where they intersect. Tea is a global speaker on innovation, creativity, and diversity, as well as the author of two books: A Curiosity of Doubts and Loud & Proud - a collection of speeches from the LGBTQ+ community that have changed our world. In May 2016 Tea spoke at the Sydney Writers Festival on Doubt as a creative catalyst. It was during this talk that Tea publicly acknowledged that she is transgender for the first time. Tea has since been celebrated as one of Australia's OUT50 LGBTQ Leaders by Deloitte and Editions at Play, and awarded a Peabody-Facebook Futures of Media Award.

It’s Bisexual Visibility Day on Wednesday 23rd September. To improve on that visibility, Joanne Oatts talks to an all-bi panel about being the invisible ‘B' among the LGBTQ+ community. Asha Harkness, David Clasen, Suzette La Pierre and Cassius Naylor share their stories, and discuss biphobia, bi-erasure, the meaning of labels and the challenges around bisexual representation - in TV, film and advertising. And we hear how The Bi Normal Project is hoping to change that.

In this special episode, we focus on the LGBTQ+ community in Poland. Over the summer, the country saw the re-election of right-wing politician Andrzej Duda as President. In the run-up to the election, Duda spoke out against the LGBT community, stoking anti-LGBT feeling and suggesting that an ‘LGBT ideology’ was a threat to family life. Since the election, discrimination, violence and hatred towards the LGBTQ+ community in Poland have increased, with many activists arrested or detained without charge. So what does this mean for agencies and brands operating in Poland? How can they make a stand and support the LGBTQ+ community there? Joanne Oatts talks to Polish-born Martin Kmiecik, co-founder of diversity and inclusion consultancy Diversity Pride, about the situation in Poland, and his own experiences growing up in the country.   Martin Kmiecik: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-kmiecik/?originalSubdomain=uk Diversity Pride: https://diversitypride.org/ BBC Report from Ben Hunte: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-europe-53342667 “Yeah that’s totally from Poland” - The One Club interview: https://www.oneclub.org/articles/-view/yeah-thats-totally-from-poland The Unbreakable Rainbow, Ben & Jerry’s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUDQBBjRMyc Durex – głośni w łóżku: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=30&v=fsYn8fcBKSE&feature=emb_logo Slav 4 U Polish Cabaret: https://www.facebook.com/slav4u Amnesty International - Polish focus: https://www.amnesty.org.uk/LGBTI-equality United Nations: https://www.un.org/sg/en/countries/poland The Outvertising Podcast Hosted by Joanne Oatts Produced & edited by Rosie Ann Boxall Get in touch with the podcast here: https://www.outvertising.org/podcast or on social: Twitter: @outvertising Insta: @outvertising Facebook: outvertisinguk Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/outvertising/

A third of LGBTQ+ people working in advertising are subject to sexual harassment in the workplace – significantly more than their straight counterparts, that’s according to the #timeToo study conducted in 2018, explains Karen Fraser in this fascinating interview with Joanne Oatts. Karen goes on to explain that the LGBTQ+ community was also more likely to be harassed more often. And they face multiple barriers to reporting the harassment, including possibly outing themselves in the workplace. Karen has become a Celebrant and is particularly keen to celebrate love in all its forms, especially amongst the LGBTQ+ community.
