Why I forgave my daughter Brianna's killers

Available for over a year

Esther Ghey's daughter Brianna, who was transgender, was murdered by teenagers she believed were her friends, in 2023. Faced with this unthinkable loss, Esther has chosen to forgive her daughter's killers, but also to hold out the hand of friendship to one of their mothers. She tells Asya Fouks how she has found that strength; why she is campaigning for mindfulness training in schools, and how better protection for children online might have helped Brianna, who prior to her death struggled with an addiction to her smartphone. Esther's book about Brianna is called Under a Pink Sky.
