Thanks so much. Once I knew about the attempt to ban lesbianism and the link with women’s footie, I had to write it!

Matchday poster depicting a pink face with blue hair and two football eyes, held by arms from two other women. A winged, eye flies above. The caption is ‘See Us As We Are’ . The match v Hashtag United takes place on Wednesday evening at the Dripping Pan in Lewes.

Another match for Lewes FC Women, another work of art posing as a matchday poster from feminist pop artist Charlotte Colbert…gorgeous, intriguing, makes you think ♥️

Great piece on the tangible difference it makes to a football club when you identify as ‘Fans of Change’ 💪

Love this write-up - thank you ♥️🖤

Great to be interviewed for #KarenCarney ‘s new documentary on women’s football, ‘The State of It’. Always living in hope that women’s football can move forward independently of the men’s game, in order to 1)keep its culture and 2)thrive according to its own hard won values.

Still, after 7 years of astoundingly biased comments and conversations, cannot believe how often (some) men presume their perspective is the only way of engaging with the world. Just mind-boggling to anyone without full privilege. As in film, so in football.
