Andreya Ezekiel-Meade from Virgin Media O2 featured in DIVA magazine

In a powerful interview for myGwork, featured by DIVA, Virgin Media O2’s Andreya Ezekiel-Meade talks honestly about LGBTQIA+ mental health at work – and what real support looks like. As both a Software Engineer in the Agentic AI space and Chair of the company’s LGBTQ+ network, Proudly, Andreya brings a rare combination of technical insight and lived experience to the conversation.

She explores why mental health must be treated as a core part of workplace culture, not a side issue – especially for LGBTQIA+ employees navigating coming out, discrimination, and the pressure to edit who they are. From her own journey with burnout and support, to the everyday reality of being “othered,” Andreya lays out why a one-size-fits-all approach to wellbeing simply doesn’t work.
