Steph's Story
I am a second year student studying Digital Photography and Radio Production. This image was taken at Chester Pride 2018, I was lucky enough to be a part of the parade representing the University! I came out to my friends and family properly 2 years ago and have embraced my sexuality ever since, pride has always been something I've wanted to go to and be a part of. My first pride was Chester just after I came out but I didn't feel like it was enough, I wanted more from it, so when the opportunity came about to represent the University, I took it straight away. Being part of the parade and watching everyone cheering and supporting us was incredible, I felt involved and proud. It was a challenge though trying to push around the cobbles in my wheelchair, however it was great fun with lots of memories to hold, I can’t wait to do it again.
