FROM: SURREY, LIVING IN LONDON
OCCUPATION: SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER
“We made Herstory! I can only imagine the sense of validation and belonging that me and my sisters would have felt had we had this kind of representation on our telly growing up (the closet was cramped in our house). From me, you can expect boots, boob and a boatload of banter.”

“I am proud to represent masculine-presenting women of colour who are gay. You do not see a lot of us on TV so I'm proud to be an addition to that little presented category. Viewers can expect their heads to be glued to the TV honestly. It is THAT good.”
