In June 2020, Taboom Director Brian Pellot designed and led a week-long online course to help journalists cover LGBTQI+ Rights in Sub-Saharan Africa. 16 journalists from 8 countries attended the Thomson Reuters Foundation workshop.

Brian designed this course to promote accurate narratives of LGBTQI+ people and issues in the media, moving journalists beyond myths, clichés, and incendiary language. It is the second Thomson Reuters Foundation course we have designed and led to promote fair and accurate LGBTQI+ reporting.
