Philippa Willitts

I am a co-editor and writer at Now Then magazine. I joined Opus in February 2021 and in my journalism I use personal stories, lived experience and data to reframe and shine a light on wider systemic issues in society, with a focus on people whose stories are rarely heard, especially disabled and LGBTQIA+ people. These are important stories to tell, and it is important that a person belonging to those communities tells them.

In the rest of my life, I am a freelance writer, podcaster and editor and an avid consumer of podcasts and stand-up comedy. I like cups of tea (Yorkshire, Earl Grey or peppermint, please), hand-written letters and creative activism like zine making and subvertising.
