Being ALOUD to be Proud

In this special episode timed to coincide with National Coming Out Day, Bobby and Bridge are joined by Colonel Ali Brown OBE and Alex Meyrick from Fighting With Pride – the LGBTQ+ Military Charity, to discuss the challenges LGBT+ veterans face. Ali shares her journey as part of the first female intake at Sandhurst, navigating military life while concealing her identity, and her mission to improve services for female veterans. Alex discusses her work supporting veterans and the lasting impact of the military's LGBT+ ban. And all together, we explore how leadership is evolving, the cost of hiding one's true self, and the importance of diversity in leadership. A powerful conversation on pride,resilience, and healing. #making the journey home  Links Ali Brown (fightingwithpride.org.uk) Alexandra Meyrick | LinkedIn Lifting the ban on gay military service members | Imperial War Museums (iwm.org.uk) Pride in Veterans Standard (fightingwithpride.org.uk) Coming out | Stonewall
