Last week, a few members of the LGBTQ+ society interviewed the founder of Stonewall (An LGBTQ+ charity – here’s a link to their website) and alumna of Croydon High School, Lisa Power.
“I was extremely lucky to get to interview Lisa Power”, shared Holly P in Year 9, “She was so inspirational, and speaks her truth without any care for what anyone else thinks.”
“I found the interview amazing!” Year 10 Ella M comments, “I think it’s amazing that we have such diversity in our alumnae, and I hope that we continue to produce such successful and inspiring women in the future.”
The group really enjoyed the interview, and was able to share some of Lisa’s wisdom with the school in assembly. Her reflections on her own experiences were matched with universal advice for all teenagers today – the concept that embarrassment will pass and learning about other people is interesting were particular takeaways.
