Voicebox: Editors' Picks
We are incredibly proud of the community we have built up on Voice, and the great range of content that gets published. You might not know this, but the team reads everything that gets uploaded to the website, even if we don't comment. And while we do have the ability to promote content to the homepage, it's all too soon before it gets replaced with another fantastic piece.
So, we have created a Voicebox where all the amazing content from our users can be forever memorialised. If we find something that we particularly enjoy, you can bet it's going to end up in this Voicebox and shared on social media!

21 November 2018More than just a drag queen
View Photo BlogShort feature on a 21-year-old student who works as a drag queen.
Matthew Perry works as a host in a nightclub, where he dresses as a drag queen named Tequila Addams. His drag persona is very unique as he paints eccentric designs on his face rather than just a traditional drag queen make up. He taught himself to make these amazing facial art looks.
Nowadays, we see a lot of drag queen performers on mainstream media, but we do not see the hard working side of a drag queen trying to break into the industry. Matthew stands out because he juggles his life between his fashion management studies at the University of the Arts London and his nightlife work as Tequila Addams.

14 August 2018Beyond ‘Curious Incident’, New Narratives of Autism by David Hartley
View FeatureThere’s a saying in the autism community: “If you’ve met one person with autism, you’ve met one person with autism.” There’s a serious humour at the heart of it, a wilful contradiction of logic spoken with an eyebrow raised that asks for change. It speaks to the frustration felt by autistic individuals who have seen the story of their identity told through harmful medical hypothesising, misguided neurotypical guesswork and deeply entrenched stereotyping – and usually by people who are not autistic.
