Zayna’s charity, diversity consulting work and private therapeutic practice explore how race, gender, sexuality and relationship diversity create a prism of intersecting identities.

I’m extremely honoured to be a Pride365 champion and furthering the cause of openness, transparency and action by all instead of the fruitless promises experienced historically.
