BUT HOW CAN WE MAKE IT GAY? | This week on the podcast, Ash (@ashleighxorose) & Indi (@fueledbyindi) have the absolute pleasure to speak with queer filmmaker, content creator and videographer - Amelia Crawford (@ameliajcrawford).

After noticing a visible gap in the representation of LGBT+ people, particularly in film and media, Amelia and her partner Lucy decided to start up their own business to highlight and promote the incredible work that queer people are doing across a whole range of industries - RefleQt!

We chatted about their business, the importance of queer representation in TV and film, internalised homophobia & more!
