With a no holds barred and outspoken view on mental health, politics, suicide and drug prevention Alexis is an articulate and charming activist with a dedicated Instagram following. Queer history is his favourite nerd topic that he regularly shares snippets of with his followers as well as health and fitness, food, fashion, skincare and gaming, not to mention a bit of silliness.

Alexis has recently worked with a variety of lifestyle brands including HP, Zipcar, Samsung, Gordons, ASOS, Sky TV and Census. He also works with several other charitable organisations including The Albert Kennedy Trust which combats LGBTQ+ youth homelessness, Opening Doors London, which aims to improve isolation of elderly LGBTQ+ people and most recently has partnered on the Heads Together Campaign. Alexis was the first person ever to run an Instagram takeover of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s @KensingtonPalace, the official Instagram account of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, to launch Mental Health Awareness Week 2020.
Most recently, in January 2022, Alexis published ‘Queer Up: An Uplifting Guide to LGBTQ+ Love, Life and Mental Health’, with chapters on questioning, coming out, friends and family, love, sex, shame, pride and allyship, this is insightful, thoughtful and reassuring book is essential reading for any questioning teen and their allies looking to support them. Look out for more where this came from! Also on Soho Radio, Alexis hosts “Cuddle Club” in association with the crisis text service Shout (for which Alexis is an ambassador) twice a month which provides a wind down and chill out hour focusing on breathing exercises and controlling negative thoughts alongside various other mindfulness techniques.
