Awareness Training with activist Eva Echo
Eva Echo (she/they) is a blogger, activist and public speaker with a focus on transgender rights and mental health. She uses her own experiences to shed light on what it is to be transgender and to challenge the obstacles which gender diverse people face within todayβs society. She is a brand ambassador for the London Transgender Clinic, part of Gendered Intelligenceβs GIANTS programme, a member of the We Create Space collective and is Head of Communication and Engagement at Birmingham Pride. She also sits on the Crown Prosecution Serviceβs hate crime panel.
As a proud trans woman, Evaβs story and work have been featured at both national and international level, with appearances in publications such as Metro, Refinery29, Boots Health & Beauty, Pride Life, Cosmopolitan and iNews, in addition to appearances on ITV and being nominated for a National Diversity Award for 2 consecutive years, in the positive role model (LGBT) category. She has delivered and facilitated keynote speeches and discussions to advocate for D&I within numerous organisations, including BP, Facebook, Waitrose, Hewlett Packard and NHS. Eva founded the #PassItOn campaign, which created discussion around trans and non-binary image standards, in addition to better representation of trans and non-binary body types in the media. Her message is simple: be your own kind of beautiful.
