How Did I Get Here? With Abbie Kelly, Founder of the Rainbow Shoelace Project

How did Abbie Kelly get here?

Growing up queer in a small Australian town, Abbie Kelly was always looking for ways to show her pride.

At 12 years old, she started putting rainbow beads on her shoelaces to show her identity. Two years later, she's handed out more than 82,000 packs of beads across the globe.

Abbie chats all things from the queerphobia she's faced in school, to how she started the project, all the way to her recent trip to Sydney WorldPride. 

We chat to Abbie about starting a community project at such a young age and ask her the question, how did you get here?
