Becca, Emily and Ottavia by Wunmi Onibudo
Becca said: "This year I’ve come out as bisexual to family & friends and I’ve been in my first relationship with a woman. I’m currently learning to accept and be proud of who I am. Pride to me is the strength to live my life as my true self."
Emily said: "Pride to me is the strength I now have to not only accept and love my identity, but also the courage and determination in my voice to stand up for the human rights of everyone."
Ottavia said: "I moved to London three years ago from a small Italian town in the mountains. During my time spent here, I've been lucky enough to meet incredibly open minded human beings who've helped me through my journey of self-education and acceptance. Pride to me is liberarion, it's understanding, it's love. It's being strong enough to help other people feel free to express who they are. "

WUNMI ONIBUDO She/her:
Wunmi is a portrait and documentary-style photographer, shooting general aspects of modern culture, taking portraits that show a sense of character and/or intimacy.
Wunmi said: "Pride Inside felt like a good way to contribute to something more joyful - and in some way, perhaps, feel useful. I know staying at home is already an important way to be helpful, and I was letting myself be okay with not taking many photos while in this period of isolation. When I was first contacted about this, it felt like a good way to pick up a camera without too much pressure, while doing something that felt celebratory. Also, I had been a complete recluse in isolation, so it felt like a great reason to emerge in order to see people (at a distance)."
