Welcome to this bonus episode of When Did You Know? which I am releasing as part of National Inclusion Week 2022! 

This mini episode is a recording of a talk I was invited to deliver online at the University of Brighton in February 2022 as part of their LGBT+ History Month celebrations. They invited me to reflect on the stories shared in my podcast before taking questions from the audience and what follows is an edited recording of that speech to keep you occupied whilst I finish editing season 3 of When did you Know which will be out in a few weeks time.
