Kelly Holmes: 'Being Me'

LGBTQ+ Health

​​​EA's Gleam Staff Network would like to mark PRIDE month by sharing details below of the powerful one-off documentary with double Olympic champion Dame Kelly Holmes.

Kelly Holmes: 'Being Me' on Sunday 26th June 10.20pm ITV - https://www.itv.com/presscentre/ep1week26/kelly-holmes-being-me

In this deeply personal film, Kelly opens up about significant parts of her life for the first time. We meet those closest to her and discover the emotional journey she's been on over the last 30 years, and its impact on her mental health.

This documentary not only explores the struggles of the double Olympic champion but also opens up conversations about living in fear of being one's true self.

GLEAM is an EA Staff Network - we strive to ensure that we are accessible to all, whether you identify as LGBTQ+ or an ally. We invite you to get involved with our GLEAM​ LGBTQ+ and Friends Staff Network by emailing equality.unit@eani.org.uk.
