Rachael Moore is a British born LGBT activist who lives and works in Brussels. With a background in youth empowerment, LGBT rights and advocacy, Rachael is no stranger to dealing with discrimination in both social and professional settings.Together with Eric Cyuzuzo and Jihan Imago she co-founded an association that pushes for a different narrative regarding the visibility of queer, trans, black and brown people called Rainbow Nation. Rachael is also the coordinator of the Rainbowhouse Brussels which is the federation of French and Dutch speaking LGBT associations in the Brussels Capital Region. She is the first black woman to take up this role. Intersectionality with a capital ‘i’ not only plays a major role in Rachael’s life but is probably one of the better words to describe her.
