Just Like Us ambassador Robyn Hill reflects on how the music in Heartstopper “changed” her life, as well as the lives of up-and-coming LGBTQIA+ artists.
WORDS BY ROBYN HILL Unless you’ve managed to ignore both Netflix and all social media for the past two years, it’s likely that you’ve heard of the heartwarming LGBTQIA+ phenomenon that is Alice Oseman’s Heartstopper.
Heartstopper began as a graphic novel when Oseman crafted a world that follows British teens Nick and Charlie as they discover their sexualities and their feelings for each other.
This story was lovingly adapted for the small screen in April 2022, gracing us with eight episodes, before July 2023 brought us eight more.
