This week is an episode that has been requested from my Steppers. This is a topic that I am not qualified to speak about. So I have invited Bess Hepworth, founder of Planet Ally to talk about travel for the LGBTQI+ community. Bess is the lead organiser for the MILES OF LOVE conference, which is the first of its kind in Hong Kong on 2nd - 5th Novemeber 2018. I believe that this is an episode that everyone should hear. I can openly say that Bess has taught me a lot and shocked me with some stories I was unaware of, from Countries frequented by Aussies, like Indonesia. Bess gives insight into the serious issues that the LGBTQI community face while travelling and explains how we can all make changes to make every human feel included and safe to explore this amazing planet. Bess directs the LGBTQI community to the current websites and apps that can assist with laws and how to meet others in the community while travelling. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Bess directly bess@planetally.org https://www.planetally.org/ https://www.planetally.org/miles-of-love/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have any requests or questions for Mishel please email us at withyoueverysteppodcast@gmail.com Instagram - @withyoueverystep Facebook   - @withyoueverystep Twitter       - @withyoueverystp

The inaugural Human Dignity Festival was held in Hong Kong in 2017 and was founded by Bess Hepworth from Planet Ally. In this podcast, Jules talks to Bess Hepworth, Petter Wallenberg from Rainbow Riots and Para Olympian, Theresa Goh about their activism work in the LGBTQ+ community. Bess established the Human Dignity Festival because she wanted to “create spaces of grace for hearts and minds to change.” Her goal was to bring all of the intersections together and open people’s eyes to “human rights issues that are about us all.” Bess united multi-faceted human rights communities and global activists to talk about allyship. The festival was attended by many human rights defenders ranging from people in the LGBTQ+ space, to refugees, migrants, human trafficking victims and their allies. Petter Wallenberg, is an activist and musician who is committed to stopping discrimination against LGBTQ+ people globally and promoting equality and freedom. He spoke to Jules about his amazing work with Rainbow Riots where he creates wonderful music and travels around the world recording vocals, often in places where is it is dangerous to be LGBTQ+. He discusses Queer cultural identity and there being a shared experience in being different. He talks about stereotypes and “understanding the struggle.” He shares his story about growing up and being gay in Sweden as a teen during the AIDS crisis, thus facing a lot of homophobia. The heart of Petter’s work with Rainbow Riots is based on creativity which he feels is a universal language. Theresa Goh is a Singaporean Para Olympic medalist and an LGBTQ+ activist. She talks about being gay in Singapore and how it is illegal for men to be gay, however, lesbians are not even recognized. She decided to speak out about her LGBTQ+ status after winning the Olympic medal in 2016, to help raise awareness of issues in the community.  She shares her amazing experiences as a Para Olympian and her positivity is infectious. Theresa is a role model and an inspirational person with a wonderful sense of humour. The next Human Dignity Festival, to be held in Hong Kong will be coinciding with International Day of Tolerance on November 16, 2018.  https://www.humandignityfestival.org/ Planet Ally: https://www.planetally.org/                                                        Rainbow Riots: http://rainbowriots.org/                                               Theresa Goh: https://www.facebook.com/theresagohruisi/ Please visit my Patreon page if you would like to sponsor the production of Hong Kong Confidential Podcast.
