Our Team

Dale is a South London based multidisciplinary storyteller, writer, teacher and activist who enjoys crafting stories that explore identity, trauma and the mind within both grounded and fantastical worlds. They write and perform their work across poetry, spoken word, screenplays and stage plays and are currently writing their first novel.

They co-wrote a screenplay called Guinness Punch, that won the Enter. Stage. Write Amplified Award in January 2024 and is being adapted into a short film. Their poems Being Named... and Black Nail Polish were featured in the Soulful South London: The Past and Present of Black Queerness' digital exhibition in March 2024. An excerpt of their play This Canvas Was Never Blank was performed at the Talawa First Festival in July 2024. In 2024, Dale also developed and taught their own creative writing programme called The Storyteller Residency for queer migrants and queer people of colour.

Dale has worked in various fields as an activist and researcher including youth homelessness, mental health, Black health inequalities and queer communities. Through this work they created and produced the podcast Queer Roots & Routes, which won the Sexuality and Relationships Independent Podcast Award 2023. In recognition of their work with queer migrants and queer communities of colour in London, Dale was selected as the first LGBT HERO Future Leader. They have also been a guest lecturer on the Decolonising Therapy module for final year psychology students at the University of Westminster for the last four years.
