Hi, I’m Poppy. 😊
I’m passionate about all the subjects that will be discussed as our world is incredibly damaged both physically by the climate crisis but also by the overwhelming inequality suffered by different genders, races, sexualities, religions and many more. As a woman I have been acutely aware of gender inequality faced on a daily basis for a long time, whether it is disguised as a “justified” opinion or boldly displayed for everyone to see and my opinions have only become stronger. I think I first began properly calling myself a feminist (by definition “someone who supports the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the  equality of the sexes” - which everyone should) about 3 years ago when I really discovered the movement and I have since made an effort to educate myself about as many topics as possible so that I can understand more deeply the problems faced by women all over the world. I also decided to go vegetarian about two years ago when I realised the devastating effect the animal industry has on the planet and learnt about the extent of the awful treatment of the animals.
Although I’m quite quiet I have no problem calling people out if they say something sexist, racist, homophobic etc. and I know a lot of people probably don’t love me for it but it’s something I’m proud I am able to stand up and do. I hope that through hearing our 11 voices speak up about issues other people will learn about them and have the confidence to speak up themselves. Change won’t happen unless we call for it.
