In this episode of The Belonging Project Podcast, we talk with Dylan Shimmon, D&I Project Coordinator and Learning Experience Designer at Equality Leaders.
This episode is an open heart conversation with our guest Dylan as he lets us in into his personal journey exploring his identity as a queer person over the years. We learn about the value of community in finding rootedness and belonging.
We also explore Dylan’s new professional path, at the intersection of meaningful work, passion and alignment.

- Alexander Leon’s quote: “Queer people don't grow up as ourselves, we grow up playing a version of ourselves that sacrifices authenticity to minimise humiliation & prejudice. The massive task of our adult lives is to unpick which parts of ourselves are truly us & which parts we've created to protect us.”
