Summary at a Glance

As a young woman, Ghey was a drug-addled wreck who struggled so much as a mum that her own mother called social services because she was worried for her daughter and her two young grandchildren.

The girl and her male friend lured Brianna out with the promise of taking cocaine, which Brianna had never tried, then stabbed her multiple times.

Transgender teenager Brianna Ghey was stabbed to death by two 15-year-olds.

And just after she was murdered by two teenage schoolchildren in February 2023, Ghey says, the world did briefly turn pink.

Ghey says there are so many parallels between her early life and Brianna’s.
