Greetings!

An Intimate Afternoon with Anthony was more than just a conversation—it was an unforgettable journey through heartbreak, transformation, and triumph. Held at Qtopia Sydney during PrideFest, the event featured Anthony Venn-Brown OAM, bestselling author and long-time LGBTQ+ advocate, in a raw and revealing interview with ABC’s Noel Debien.

From the pulpit of Australia’s megachurches and the painful closet of denial, Anthony shared the deeply personal moments behind his acclaimed memoir A Life of Unlearning. The audience was captivated as he exposed the emotional cost of suppressing his true self—and the liberating power of finally embracing it........and more..

With laughter, tears, and moments of profound connection, this afternoon offered more than insight—it offered hope. A powerful reminder that authenticity is not just possible—it’s life-saving.

If you live outside Sydney or Australia you would have missed An Intimate Afternoon with Anthony!

I have good news for you.
