Inspirational speaker on LGBTQ issues and living with HIV
PepTalk Speech Bubble
Former lawyer turned advocate for diversity and inclusion
Philip is an esteemed human rights activist and columnist, renowned for his dedication to LGBTQ issues. His journey began as a highly successful lawyer in London and New York.

However, in 2010, his life took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with both HIV and Hepatitis C. Initially overwhelmed by fear, Philip underwent a transformative process of acceptance surrounding his diagnoses. He transitioned from feeling like an outsider to becoming an inspiring and remarkable activist.

In 2015, Philip made the courageous decision to leave his respected legal career behind and fully immerse himself in his human rights advocacy. He currently serves as a trustee for various charities and collaborates with numerous organizations on specific initiatives.

Philip also devotes his time to delivering talks at schools, where he shares his personal experiences of coming out, living with HIV, and discussing his Christian faith. Through these discussions, he aims to educate and challenge societal stereotypes.

Philip is frequently sought after for his insights on human rights issues by mainstream print, radio, and TV platforms. He has delivered keynote speeches across the country, ranging from Pride events to conferences, and has provided valuable perspectives on LGBTQ/human rights, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace.

With his vast knowledge and ability to engage in meaningful conversations, Philip is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to educate themselves or others and obtain expert advice from a role model associated with Stonewall.

Elevate your awareness and understanding by connecting with Philip.
