”Visibility has a snowball effect”
Over the years, it has become apparent to me that part of the role of an LGBTQ+ and feminist activist is, more often than not, just to listen. I’m unendingly touched by the trust people display when they decide to come and talk to me. Be it about activism and campaigning, matters of the heart (why anyone would want my advice on love is beyond me, since I’m a notorious car wreck with romance) or mental health issues, each message I receive reveals an interesting juxtaposition of fiercely intimate worries about issues which broadly affect all of us in some way.
