From \u2018coming out\u2019 at nineteen to being told by a colleague that she would have to try harder in London because she was gay, fat, and northern, Carley gives us her perspective on how we can create more inclusive environments, which allow people to bring their true selves to work every day.   KEY TAKEAWAY \u201cThe LGBTQ+ community, we want you to ask questions, we want you to ask what that acronym means. I don\u2019t have a clue what most of the acronyms mean because they\u2019re forever changing, because they\u2019re personal and they\u2019re different for every single individual, so you\u2019re probably not always going to get it right. But it\u2019s okay to not get it right. Be open with people and ask them what they prefer to be called.\u201d   ABOUT CARLEY Carley is the Student Experience Manager at the University of the Arts London. Originally from the north of England, she has worked within HE and charity sectors for 15 years supporting inclusivity in leadership and her roles.  She is also the Head of Events for Pride in London and has started her own LGBTQ+ events company championing positive individual relationships and community involvement.
