ManifesLAYtion Brunch — Queer Empowerment in Full Colour
A sold-out series by Louis Byrne
In proud partnership with Soho House
An unapologetic celebration of identity, resilience, and community, the ManifesLAYtion Brunch was more than just a gathering — it was a powerful container for real talk, radical self-love, and queer empowerment.
Set against the iconic backdrop of Soho House, each sold-out brunch invited guests into an intimate and electric space of conversation, connection, and transformation.
THE ICIAIW CONFESSION BOOTH & JOURNAL EXPERIENCE
As with every Louis Byrne empowerment activation, the “I Can, I Am, I Will” Confession Booth was at the heart of the brunch. Guests stepped in to record their own powerful manifestations — declarations of intention, healing, and becoming.
Every guest received the I Can, I Am, I Will Wellbeing Manifestation Journal, a curated tool designed to guide personal growth, reflection, and ongoing empowerment.
FOR THE QUEER COMMUNITY, BY THE QUEER COMMUNITY
ManifesLAYtion is a love letter to queer identity — raw, unfiltered, and magnetic.
It is a space where creativity meets community, and where every voice is not only welcomed, but amplified.
Queer joy. Queer truth. Queer power.
This is ManifesLAYtion.
REAL STORIES, REAL POWER
At the heart of ManifesLAYtion is Louis Byrne’s deeply personal story — one of triumph, transformation, and living proudly as a queer creative. Through open dialogue and unfiltered truth, Louis shared his journey of self-discovery and empowerment, offering guests not just insight, but invitation — to be bold, to be seen, to be heard.
Joining Louis were incredible guest speakers who brought their own unique lens to the movement:
Vicky McClure MBE — Award-winning actress and fierce advocate for community mental health
Dead Sweet — The brilliant minds behind Charity Shop Sue, a cult comedy phenomenon blending creativity and camp with commentary
Stewart Roberts MBE — Founder of Haircuts for Homeless, reminding us that dignity is a right, not a privilege
Each conversation held space for vulnerability, creativity, and overcoming — a celebration of what it means to move through the world as your whole self.
