I’m James Wallis, a London-based writer, spoken word creator, photographer and marketer. I created Hey Gay Boy, a spoken-word series about queer shame, healing and self-acceptance that has reached millions of people, and a Substack of the same name read by thousands of subscribers. Across TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn and Substack I’ve built an audience of over 80,000 people. I also host the Extra Ordinary podcast, shoot family, portrait and brand photography, and speak at events about content, storytelling and visibility. Read Hey Gay Boy on Substack, or get in touch about photography, content or speaking.
