Broome Pride Inc Founder and All time legend Lucy Porta Loo!
In this episode, I sit down with Lucy Falcocchio — a well‑known Broome local, community leader, and passionate advocate for inclusion. Lucy shares her personal journey, the story behind becoming the founder of Broome Pride, and she reflects on leadership, resilience, and social change.

✨ Episode Highlights
In this heartfelt conversation, Lucy opens up about moving to Broome from Newcastle in 2014 and on finding community and purpose in the Kimberley.

We dive into the origins of Broome Pride, an inclusive, not‑for‑profit organisation built on the belief of one community. Lucy shares what motivated her to start Broome Pride, how it has evolved over the years, and how the organisation supports and gives back to local community groups.

Lucy also speaks about balancing community work with her professional career, working at KAMS in Broome and how she has been there for 15 years.

A powerful moment in the episode comes as Lucy revisits a deeply personal experience shared during the Broome Chamber of Commerce Women’s Leadership “Local Legends” panel. She reflects on losing her partner before same‑sex marriage was legalised, the lack of recognition she experienced at the time, and the changes she has noticed since marriage equality became law in Australia.

The conversation expands into broader reflections on shifting perceptions of same‑sex couples and the LGBTQ+ community, and whether society has become more accepting over time.

As the episode draws to a close, Lucy reflects on what she is most proud of, what’s next for her in 2026, and takes part in a fun round of rapid‑fire questions — before giving a heartfelt shout‑out to a woman who has inspired her.
