A Vision of Equality and Opportunity FOR MARDI GRAS
Good governance
I am committed to good governance, a board that leads with strong, clear policies and procedures. I support updating our constitution to reflect and protect our vision and mission today while staying true to our moral compass.
Honouring our past, looking into the future
Recognising the rich history and the evolving future of our community, I aim to connect different generations. By honouring our past and innovating for our future, we can create a cohesive and dynamic community where every generation feels valued.
Meaningful consultation
Decision-making should be a collaborative process. I aim to engage further with our community through regular, structured consultations, making sure that our strategies and actions resonate with the needs and aspirations of those we serve.
True representation
I envisage to continue the work of a board that truly reflects the diverse tapestry of our community. This means advocating for and elevating voices from all genders and corners of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, ensuring that every member feels seen and heard.
Support for First Nations LGBTIQ communities
Uplifting and supporting First Nations LGBTIQ individuals. Recognising their unique challenges and rich cultural heritage, I will work towards creating inclusive spaces and opportunities, celebrating their contributions to our community and beyond.
Always on
The team has been working on an annual calendar that extends beyond the Festival. I advocate for expanding those programs and initiatives even more throughout the year, fostering ongoing engagement, support, and celebration of our community.
Safe spaces
I commit to continue integrating trauma-informed practices that recognise the unique challenges faced by our community. By creating safer spaces that acknowledge and respect these experiences, we'll foster a more supportive and resilient environment for all.
Sustainable business decisions and ethics
Aligning with the Ethical Charter of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, I am committed to the sustainability of our organisation. This includes responsible practices and ethical decision-making including sponsorship agreements that ensure the longevity and integrity of our Mardi Gras.

THINK PRIDE
Think Pride ep3
The third episode of 'Think Pride' showcased an engaging discussion on LGBTIQ+ identity and intersectionality. Guided by host Kyriakos Gold, a diverse panel of experts from the community, including Dr. Todd Fernando, Maria Dimopoulos, Dr. Judy Tang, Margherita Coppolino, and Ange Barry, shared their experiences and perspectives. This dynamic conversation aimed to break down stigmas and foster unity within Victoria's LGBTIQ+ communities. Audience participation was encouraged, adding depth to the discourse through personal stories and questions. The event was not only a platform for empowering dialogue but also featured a special performance by Dean Arcuri. Recorded in front of a live audience, the episode was also broadcast online, making it accessible to a broader audience.

The fourth episode of 'Think Pride' pivoted around the themes of visibility, inclusion, and creating safer spaces for the LGBTIQ+ community. The panelists, through their diverse backgrounds and experiences, highlighted the crucial role of community engagement and support in challenging prevailing stigmas. This dialogue was not just theoretical; it was grounded in real-life experiences and actionable insights, inspiring attendees and online viewers alike to contribute to making safer, more welcoming spaces for all individuals.
