    #MyJourneyToPride - Here's what happened!

    By Ellie Miles, , 3 minute read

    We partnered up with museum freelancer Sacha Coward and invited people to use the #MyJourneyToPride hashtag to document and share their stories of travelling to Pride in London and UK Black Pride 2019. We also asked some people to record video diaries of their journeys in order to create a picture of the lived experience of a group of people from the LGBT+ community in London in 2019. Find out what happened.
