Kaye Ally || JOHANNESBURG PRIDE

Meet Kaye Ally, one of the organizers of Johannesburg Pride.

On June 28th, 1969 the Stonewall Riots kicked off a larger gay rights movement in the USA.

In 1970, the first gay pride marches took place in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago – today pride parades are taking place all around the world.

In 2018, I wanted to know who the people organizing today’s pride parades are, what the marches mean to them, and met wonderfully powerful, loving and kind people from places, which might not be the first ones that come to mind, when we think of queer love.

See all Faces of Pride.

Kaye Ally – JOHANNESBURG PRIDE

What’s your name and age? I’m Kaye Ally, 42 y.o.

Since when have you been involved with Johannesburg Pride? I got involved in 2013.

Why do you think Prides are important? It’s a platform to create a positive stance for the LGBT+ community.

It is also important as it is a means to reflect just how many countries marginalize the LGBT+ community.

Johannesburg Pride is dubbed the Pride of Africa as it is the oldest and the largest Pride on this continent. More important, South Africa is the only country in Africa with constitutionally recognized LGBT+ Laws.

What is one (or two) remarkable thing(s) that has/have happened at Johannesburg Pride? The manner in which Johannesburg Pride has grown. We see people travel from all over the world to attend and celebrate Pride with us in Johannesburg. Moving Pride from a day to an afternoon/ night event also contributed to the success.

What do you do when you are not organizing Johannesburg Pride?
I am an IT professional

What’s one of your favourite pastimes?
I don’t have many past times. All my spare time goes into planning Pride. I generally take December as a time-out from both my day and night job.

Is there something you would like to say to the rest of the LGBT+ community?
Don’t turn a blind eye to the plight of the LGBT+ community in Africa.
Africa needs your support!

Not different, just love

How do you feel when it comes to dealing with our emotions, expectations and responsibilities, around coming out, living as a LGBTIQ+ person and when it comes to our families and love in general?

Get Your Personal Wheel of Colours

The Wheel of Colours is a traditional tool to help us understand what we need or can share in certain situations.

We are all made up out of the same colours, but they are arranged uniquely in each person – which is why we need or can give different things in different moments.

If you’d like to find out what can support YOU when starting a project, or working with other people, to successfully finish something, to heal, to spark your creativity or what your unique gift is, that you bring to the world, then the Wheel of Colours will help you to see this and yourself more clearly and show you how to use these insights in practical ways.

It will also show you how you can listen to your inner truth and that of others, what your most important lesson is in life and what challenges you might have to overcome.

Once you’ve learned what you need to learn, you can start the wheel again, this time more smoothly.

In the past, people often only got these insights and realizations towards the end of their lives – but you don’t have to wait until then.

ASK ME ANYTHING

Join the CREATRIX School

Are you a CREATRIX - yet? A CREATRIX masterfully directs their life instead of reacting to life's circumstances.
If you'd like to find out how - come and join us. You can now get a 30-day free trial because we all learn in different ways, and it's important to me that you have time to find out for yourself if this is the right way to learn for you - before you make a financial commitment.

Clarity - Confidence - Connection

In the CREATRIX School we bring clarity, confidence and connection into every area of our lives - and we look at a different topic each month.

How can we find balance in a world of uncertainty? More often than not, we try to control the wrong things and therefore struggle and fear.

In this chapter of the CREATRIX School (or 4-week course), we learn to use the powers of the universal (karmic) laws and shift our focus, so we can experience entering into the flow of life, finding trust and power in ourselves and let what we are looking for come to us.
