Identity: Owl Fisher

"As a transgender person, identity is something that I've had to really think about in great detail and how I fit in this world. But I'm so much more than my gender, like we all are. I play video games and Dungeons and Dragons in my spare time, I love cooking and I have my own flower and herb garden. I love reality TV and I was just as devastated as everyone else when Mel and Sue left the Great British Bake Off. WOW London has an amazing way of bringing together people from different backgrounds and experiences, and that's what we need to see to challenge our perspectives, our prejudices and preconceived ideas about other people. What brings us together is so much more than what sets us apart."
