Meet The Trustees

Amy (Aether) Turner

(they/she)

I’ve been a community organiser for over 6 years, running successful ‘geeky’ community groups in Coventry. With my 10+ years experience in marketing, I hope to use my experience to support our LGBTQ+ community.

Emilija K

(they/she)

I am here to help organise events for the community and rally our volunteers. From book clubs to protests, I am always striving for more radical action and intersectionality.

Viji Thevar

(she/her)

I champion LGBTQ+ women’s healthcare and mental well-being, serving as a guide and coach to the next generation of leaders within Pride communities – fostering healing, belonging and inclusive transformation through heart-led leadership.

Karen Stevenson

(She/her)

I champion inclusive communications and neurodivergent visibility, blending lived experience with strategic storytelling. I’m passionate about amplifying unheard voices and sparking meaningful change across community and campaign spaces.

Sara Prot

(she/her)

A dedicated trustee and psychology lecturer, I am committed to creating inclusive spaces and uplifting LGBTQIA+ voices through education and action. Attending my first Pride helped me come out as bi/pan, now I want to help organise it so others can find their true selves too!

Ray Sliazko

(they/them)

I advocate for Coventry Pride to make ethical, sustainable choices and encourage relationships with local organisations whose values align with ours. I want us to focus on the most marginalised members of our community and seek liberation for all.

Gerald Collins

(he/him)

I am a UK based street photographer who records moments in time forever. These can be moments of reflection, power, love, or something that makes me giggle. Find me @iamroyalart
