Hello, my angel Unicorn muffins!

I’m delsi (they/them) and 10+ years ago, I created a little thing called Unicorns.

Growing up, I was always drawn to performance art, warehouse parties, quality tunes, and sparkly dancefloor moments. But as a young queer, I struggled to find a space where I could show up as my whole self and feel safe, seen, and celebrated.

When I came out in my early 20s, finding where I fit in was a bit of a struggle. I wanted a place where I could be with all my queer friends in one space - and not just let in, but enthusiastically celebrated as we walked through the doors.

So, I made Unicorns.

Unicorns began in a small warehouse in the industrial suburb of St Peters, Sydney. I still remember being surprised when 70 people showed up to that very first event. Now, every time a venue fills with a sea of beautiful, queer faces, I’m filled with happiness and gratitude.

At Unicorns, the goal is to create a space where all members of the LGBTQIA+ community can come together to support, uplift, connect, and celebrate each other.

It’s a playground to explore self-expression - wear your fave outfits, cover yourself in paint and eco-glitter, dance, hear euphoric tunes, and come together to celebrate how wonderful it is to be queer. It’s an environment built on love, encouragement, and kindness - and a reminder of how incredible it is to be part of our very special community.

Over the years, Unicorns has grown and evolved to meet the changing needs of our community. From fitness groups and social support evenings to healthy relationship workshops, festivals, LGBTQIA+ inclusion training, and dating events.

Thank you for the past 13+ years of love, community, celebration, and dancefloor magic. I’m so excited to see what the next 10+ years bring and how we continue to grow and evolve together.

Alongside Unicorns, I also support workplaces and organisations through keynote speaking, training, and workshops focused on LGBTQIA+ inclusion and safer cultures. If you’re here looking for that work, you can find it at withdelsi.com.

With love and hugs,
delsi xx
