PHD

As part of Pride Month at PHD UK, we hosted an engaging and insightful fireside chat with the fantastic trans actress, author and activist, Charlie Craggs, PHD UK Planning Manager, Reece-James Hope and our CEO, Ali Reed.    Described by British Vogue as "the voice of a community", Charlie is an award-winning trans icon who founded Nail Transphobia - a campaign to provide free manicures to people, allowing them to chat with a trans person about their experiences to reduce transphobia. She published her first book in 2017, a collection of letters by successful trans women, "To My Trans Sisters", she is the lead actor in the Doctor Who spin-off series "Redacted" as Cleo Proctor alongside Jodie Whittaker's 13th doctor, and presented BBC3's "Transitioning Teens" a documentary that follows her across the country meeting trans people educating viewers and discussing what it is like being transgender in the UK.   Thank you so much to Charlie, Reece and Ali for this wonderful panel session.
