🌈 Happy Pride Month from Gorom Refugee Settlement 🌈

Happy Pride Month to LGBTQ+ people everywhere.

As a grassroots LGBTQ+ activist and refugee from Uganda currently living in Gorom, South Sudan, Pride has a different meaning for many of us. While some celebrate openly with parades and flags, many LGBTQ+ refugees continue to face fear, discrimination, and threats simply for being who they are.

This Pride Month, we stand together in spirit with our community around the world. Our visibility may come with risks, but our existence is not a crime. Our identities are valid. Our lives matter.

To everyone raising a Pride flag safely this month, know that your courage gives hope to LGBTQ+ people living in difficult circumstances. We dream of a future where every LGBTQ+ person can live freely, safely, and with dignity.

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Happy Pride Month. With love and solidarity from Gorom Refugee Settlement, South Sudan.

Hello world,

This is my first step into this space.

I am sharing a small part of my journey — stories of resilience, identity, and hope 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I come from East Africa, and this blog is a place where I will speak softly but honestly about lived experiences, survival, and the strength of community.

This is not just a blog — it is a space of expression, healing, and truth.

Thank you for being here.
