Carrie-Ann Lawrence

Carrie-Ann Lawrence works as a European Affairs Officer in the International Relations Office of the City of Dortmund and as a freelance writer. As a queer woman of color, she has been active in the queer community for many years, both as an activist and in the field of community building. She volunteers to create fear-free workspaces and leisure activities for queer people. With her own series of events, Carrie-Ann has given queer women in particular the space to get to know each other, exchange ideas, and feel a sense of community without having to fear discrimination. She has been honored several times for her commitment, most recently with the “PrOutPerformer in the Public Service” award from the Prout at Work Foundation and the “Recognizing Commitment” award from the Dortmund Volunteer Agency.
