TEXT LOTTIE MADDISON

2 MINUTES WITH GRACE MATILDA

Grace is 16 and is just finishing up her GCSE exams . She studies history , citizenship , humanities and art . She is a LGBTI + rights activist , and recently carried out an online campaign to spread awareness and support to the community .
Tell us about your ‘ I ’ m in ’ campaign The aim of my recent ‘ I ’ m in ’ campaign was to help positively promote the support for the LGBTI community . There is a lot of stigma attached to openly admitting to either being within the LGBTI bracket , or supporting those who are within it . The idea of ‘ I ’ m in ’ was to help encourage people to be proud of their involvement , and of who they were . As a Bisexual female , the campaign I ran was one I was deeply passionate about .
