Our Black Gay Diaspora host Erick sits down with Lloyd Young — founder of Black Experience UK, independent sexual violence advocate, and champion for Black LGBTQ+ communities — to discuss what it truly means to show up for Black queer men in Britain and beyond. He opens up about his grassroots work supporting victim survivors of sexual violence, the unique barriers Black queer men face when reporting abuse, and how asylum seekers navigating the UK system are often met with exploitation rather than safety. Drawing from his Jamaican-British heritage, his dyslexia journey, and 30+ years with Black Experience UK, Lloyd reminds us that community, history, and visibility are acts of resistance.
