Let them eat cake with Lady Red Velvet

In this final episode of the season of Loud & Proud, I’m reflecting on what Pride truly means to me and why it remains as important today as ever. I share my personal views on Pride, the work I do to champion equality, diversity, and inclusion, and why visibility is so powerful in helping others feel seen, accepted, and celebrated.I also talk about the incredible honour and pride I feel performing and marching at Barcelona Pride, standing alongside an amazing LGBTQ+ community and allies in a celebration of love, authenticity, and progress. From the joy of entertaining the crowds to the importance of continuing the fight for equality, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that Pride is more than a celebration—it’s a statement of who we are and the world we want to build together. 🏳️‍🌈✨Thank you for joining me throughout this season of Let them eat cake.
