Voices: Why I am walking backwards in every London borough – for refugees like me

We are walking across London. All 32 boroughs. 2,500 miles. One of us moving forward, the other moving backwards.

This is not a metaphor. It is our daily reality for the next 210 days. We are “Two Refugees Walking”: queer, African, displaced and determined. We walk for those who can’t; for those still trapped in systems that criminalise identity; for those left behind by borders and bureaucracy. We walk to be seen.
