Junior has supported the Rainbow Network for over six years, most recently as one of three global co-chairs. He was also Regional Co-Chair for the Multicultural Network prior to this. Being involved in both networks and the bank’s overall DE&I council, he brings intersectionality to the forefront of the conversation. Over the past 12 months he has led engaging educational sessions on Black LGBT+ Excellence, Black Queer Love, Ballroom and Vogue, National Coming Out Day, South Asian Heritage Month, Black History Month and LGBT+ History Month. He also posts regularly on our internal platforms around key events and messages such as Transgender Day of Visibility and Lesbian Visibility Week. Junior is a committed community volunteer for Yorkshire Mesmac outside of work. He has supported gay and bi men and MSM within Yorkshire with access to sexual health services and signposting other health services since 2012. To show his engagement and dedication, he also uses his social media presence to support and promote key initiatives such as UK Black Pride and Prepster.
