After thirty years supporting vulnerable and marginalised people in various grassroots communities, charities and public sector roles, they now deliver training and research on antiracism, LGBTQ+, trans, non-binary and intersex (TNBI), disabled people and neurodiversity. As a Black, queer, non-binary, person with autism and ADHD, Josetta finds being part of and working for marginalised groups to be an endless source of happiness, inspiration and motivation.

They love their friends, yoga, mindfulness and tai chi meditation practices and ethical living, and are currently researching a PhD at University of Aberdeen on Equity Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in Mindfulness: An Intersectional and Decolonising Approach.

JOY IS…

friends, love, nature, sunshine, yoga, meditation, tai chi, books and words, learning stuff, intersectional podcasts, vegan living, auDHDness, infodumping, compassion, social justice, big strong squeezy cuddles, sex, real conversations, music, my work and research.

Trans Joy is the pure and intense happiness, pride and peace of being myself and part of the beautiful, powerful and inspirational Trans community.
