Caroline Barry

I am an Irish journalist based in West Cork and the UK. I am a queer, ADHD, gender non-conforming woman. I am currently the editor of a cannabis and CBD publication in the UK and also freelance for other magazines. I am working on my first non-fiction novel about growing up gay and ADHD in rural Ireland.

I am passionate about speaking on rural issues in terms of health access, abortion care and making sure rural women are represented in the media. I have written about LGBT+ politics and culture in the past along with features about gender. I had a radio show in the UK for three years and have also worked with Dublin City FM, Newstalk and Near FM. This has been in presenter, contributor and researcher roles. In the past, I have been featured in the Irish Examiner, ELLE magazine, Buzzfeed and, the Independent. I run a successful fashion and beauty blog which works with large brands across Ireland and the UK. I have a steady readership and have over 2 million views. I am currently a print and online journalist but would welcome more radio work.
