The “be.queer” employee network, BMG, and Arvato Systems invite all interested parties to attend a virtual talk entitled “Trans* in the Workplace.” The event will feature celebrities from media giving insights into their own personal development and experiences in the media industry. They will talk about topics that trans* people deal with in their workday routine, and how coworkers, supervisors, and friends can support them.

Celebrity participants

The participants are Brix Schaumburg, a German actor (among other things on the “GZSZ” spin-off “Sunny – Wer bist du wirklich? [Who are you really?]” for RTL) and was part of the German “Act out” 2021 campaign, in which many actors and actresses in Germany used their queer identity or orientation to create visibility, and Jennie Kermode, a writer, filmmaker, human rights activist, and film critic. The online talk will be emceed by Jamie Ahye, co-founder and co-director of Pride in Music, the first LGBTQ+ network for the British music industry. BMG has created a "Resource Pack"  for Transgender Day of Remembrance with helpful additional information on the topic.
