🎙️ What’s This Episode About?
Braidy Maloney is a proud queer woman, business owner, and quiet force (sometimes not so quiet) - running both Five Café and Solomon’s Tap Room in Garston.
Braidy sits down with John to talk about building community from the ground up. Not with big speeches or rainbow branding, but by creating real, local spaces where all people feel seen and safe. She shares her journey from customer to café owner, how being different shaped her approach to business, and the power of showing up without needing to shout.
They chat authenticity, allyship, visibility outside the city centre - and why being part of the community means more than just putting a flag in the window.
It’s warm, honest, and quietly radical. Just like Braidy.
