“I’m really excited to be involved in the PROCESSIONS Banner creation as I think it’s so important to highlight the diverse and intersectional contributions to women’s rights in this country. I think events like these are crucial because we often forget and tragically ignore the significant contributions of marginalised communities in this country and this is a brilliant opportunity to celebrate and honour their legacy publicly and unapologetically.” – Heather Agyepong
