On this week’s episode of Priorities, I’m in conversation with author and journalist Amelia Abraham, one of the UK’s leading voices in LGBTQ+ culture and politics. Amelia’s 2019 book, ‘Queer Intentions: A (Personal) Journey Through LGBTQ+ Culture’, is a moving, enlightening and thought-provoking exploration of queer culture across the world.

Some of the topics we cover include:

  • Contributing queer stories to the world
  • The addictive nature of work
  • Developing a relationship with activism
  • How not to spread yourself too thin

Will you agree with Amelia’s priorities? Have a listen and find out.

Priorities explores the things in life that really matter. Join Lily Silverton as she invites inspirational guests to discuss their priorities, and how these help them successfully navigate this demanding modern world.

Thinking about your own priorities? This podcast will help you move closer to the life you truly want to live.
