    This is the PrideON Podcast from the Civil Service LGBT+ Network.

    Pride events in towns and cities across the UK have been put on hold this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, but just because those events can’t take place, that doesn’t mean we can’t take pride in who we are.

    On this podcast, you’ll hear from inspiring LGBT+ civil servants and allies talking about their identities, experiences and work, and what pride means to them.

    In this episode, John Peart speaks to Keela Shackell-Smith, who's a Diversity and Inclusion Manager in the Cabinet Office. Keela talks about her – and her partner's – experiences of having a baby as same-sex parents.
