If you’re looking for an experienced Pride speaker to entertain, educate and inspire your event guests or employees, Matt Ellison is one of the most personally qualified Pride Month speakers on the UK circuit today.
As a transgender man, diversity, inclusion and the importance of allyship are all subjects close to Matt’s heart. When you bring him on-board as one of your speakers for Pride Month, his passion for empowering people to embrace their individuality – and overcome what’s holding them back – will keep on resonating well after his time on the stage has ended.
Whatever your plans for Pride Month, Matt would be the perfect addition to your itinerary. As a key speaker at your main event, as an inspirational opener, or to deliver the ideal round-up towards the end of June, he’ll leave you with a truly unforgettable message of facing challenges, finding hope and achieving happiness.
From marching at Pride as co-chair of FTM London – a female-to-male transition support organisation – to working with a range of SMEs and international brands, Matt is no stranger to this fantastic month-long event.
Matt has worked as a Pride speaker for Microsoft, Disney, Rolls Royce, eBay, Henkel, 38 degrees, Nest Corporation, Pod Point, Actis, Beacon, Q4 and Portman Dental Care to name just a few. As a speaker across all kinds of events, you can get an idea of what his clients say about his skills through some of his testimonials below.
Matt is a great believer in encouraging effective change, with his Pride speeches helping to kick-start organisational initiatives and enabling people to fully connect with the subject
of diversity and inclusivity. So if you want to start implementing internal adjustments such as using pronouns in emails, or launching an allyship programme, what better way to start than have Matt take the floor as your featured Pride Month speaker?!
While Matt’s personal experiences are at the core of his discourse, his work as a Pride speaker isn’t just aimed at the LGBTQ audience. The magic lies in his ability to connect with and relate to anyone and everyone – from minority groups, to those struggling to find their purpose or anyone who simply wants to learn how to live a more fulfilling life.

What is gender? Male, female and non-binary. The difference between sex, gender and sexuality.
Who do you identify as? Internal and external factors – appearance and inner identity. How aspects of identity may be in conflict, or undergo change. Identity, self-discovery and self-realisation.
Our minds and lives are conditioned by the norms we have grown up with. They may seem natural, inevitable or just plain common sense, but they can be limiting or worse. Creative questioning of norms can allow liberating change.
Matt knows what it’s like to risk everything. Gender transition meant he could have lost his family, friends and business & he feared he might been branded a ‘freak’ by society, yet none of those things happened.
Raising awareness of transgender issues. How best to support staff, clients, students etc who are undergoing or are around those undergoing gender transition.
