Sabah by Ira Giorgetti
Sabah is a proud trans youth worker, psychotherapist in training, speaker, educator, and writer.
“Pride to me is more than just a rainbow sticker on the window of a store, more than glitter in the streets in June for a week. Pride is that feeling that comes from shouting for those who have lost their voice through injustice and broken hearts. Pride is that feeling that comes from loving each other and celebrating those who don’t often get it, Black queers, disabled folk, trans femmes, people of faith. Pride comes from honouring those who paved the way for us, our elders and before. Pride is also complicated, it can feel hard to feel proud all the time but just because I am not feeling proud, doesn’t mean I am ashamed. I don’t think these are opposites. Pride is sometimes an aspiration instead of a reality, sometimes celebration feels like a privilege when there is still so much to protest. Pride is political. And our pride is precious.”

Ira said: "It's important to keep the movement going despite the restrictions of the current health crisis, our community needs to keep on fighting the good fight even if that means we have to shout from our windows and doorsteps. I think this campaign is a great way to both encourage hope, care, and pride in ourselves and our allies while making sure that we act responsibly and considerately. The world is a scary place right now, and for many people in marginalised societies the struggle really is real - and I think this campaign can help shine a bit of light for those who feel underrepresented and ignored."

"Being one of the models of this campaign has paved the way for opportunities to share my personal experiences to others, and in the hope of allowing the public especially those who haven’t been exposed or encountered any members of the LGBTQ community be informed and learned that we are no different from anybody else. That we are human beings and persons as well. I will be celebrating pride with my authenticity as a person and as nurse, hopefully having that space in the society to now be well represented..." - Pawee, London
