TEDx
Since its very inception, Colours Caribbean has promoted visibility for our LGBTQIA+ community.
Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort
The journey began in 2015 with TEDxSevenMileBeach at Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort, where Billie Bryan was featured as one of the speakers.
“…Billie has come to recognise the very serious need for the redefinition of sex, gender and everything in between. She just might teach you a thing or two about yourself.”
The event served as the launchpad of what would eventually become the “Colours Cayman Campaign” the following year.

Educational Workshops
“Colour Me Loved” Gender & Sexuality Workshops
2017 saw the introduction of our “What Are They Teaching You?!” Gender & Sexuality Workshops.
Part of our “Colour Me Loved” campaign, these workshops were hosted regularly and designed to educate attendees on a variety of topics surrounding these subjects, as well as provide monthly support groups for those suffering from mental illness who identify as LGBTQIA+. The workshops were typically held at the George Town Public Library but were additionally extended to one-off sites such as various schools, universities, workplaces and departments of government.
