Quotes
I live with my best friend and his mum, who runs a salon in Tottenham and I'm there all the time. Whenever the young boys come in to get their trims, the conversations they have, they're like, 'Ah Mum, they're non-binary, you can't call them 'him'. It rolls off the tongue. It's amazing. That's the generation that's going to save the world.
