On Wednesday the 2nd of October we were joined by Sandi Toksvig OBE, the esteemed Danish-British writer, comedian, and broadcaster renowned for her work on British radio and television.
Sandi, who had succeeded Stephen Fry as the host of QI and co-presented The Great British Bake Off, is also a political activist for the LGBTQIA+ community.
Her activism gained significant attention in 1994 when Save the Children ceased her involvement in their 75th-anniversary celebrations after she came out. This event held particular significance as it was close to National Coming Out Day on 11 October.
In the session, Sandi discussed her latest novel, 'Friends of Dorothy', which offers a poignant and humorous look at the families we choose for ourselves. Attendees didn't miss the opportunity to gain personal insights from Sandi's illustrious career and her contributions to literature and activism.
