When it comes to our history, we believe deeply in the importance of it being written in our language. So please join us for our first poetry night for an evening of prose, punchlines and progress, along with a bit of spoken word, from some of the most exciting trans+ and non-binary talent out there.

Held at the wonderful Common Press Bookshop, London's first consciously queer intersectional bookshop, this intimate evening aims to inspire and bring us together. Everything about this event is built by and for the trans+ community and promises to be fun, thought-provoking, and fingers crossed (and snapped) historic.

We're very grateful to Deloitte UK, our exclusive sponsor for this event.

Tolu Osinubi (She/her) – Co-chair of Proud at Deloitte – Deloitte UK LGBTQ+ Network says:

"It's such a privilege to sponsor the Trans + History Week poetry event. This aligns with our inclusion priorities at Deloitte UK and our commitment to supporting organisations that are actively providing safe spaces for our trans and queer colleagues. At Deloitte UK fostering inclusion is one of our shared values and we are committed to strengthening our culture of inclusion, a culture where everyone's voices are included and heard. This event is a necessary celebration of the trans and non-binary community. We stand in solidarity with our transgender community and recognise the challenges they face and the strength it takes to live authentically."
