Emerging eight hours later: wow, what a show! Compelling storytelling with a weirdly anachronistic but incredibly effective soundtrack.

I’m incredibly pleased to share the LGBTQ+ parents and carers digital zine. To reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation, we asked people to share their thoughts and experiences of being LGBTQ+ and a parent to make an online creative resource. The result is beautiful! heyzine.com/flip-book/d0...
