Notes
In 2020, during the Pandemic, Sophie Williams + Jo Alloway set up a grassroots trans healthcare fundraiser in East London. I donated money to create merchandise and my friend, Hannah Dickins, donated time to design the concept. She is a queer graphic designer. This bag represents community organisisng to help our trans siblings. Sophie Williams took her own life in may 2021 because of NHS trans healthcare waiting lists. In memory of Sophie xxx.
