Highlight in Philanthropy: Ramona Sharples’ Amazing Buttons and Pins

Fed up with not seeing bodies like hers represented, even in body positive spaces, Ramona Sharples took matters into her own hands — and created something uniquely beautiful.

To make the pins extra sweet, Ramona decided to go one step further and make them a fundraiser for Trans Lifeline.

After a second round of designs, Ramona wound up with six enamel pins total.

Ramona also designed these beautiful buttons.

“I want to live in a world where no one has to feel nervous to come out or to transition, but until we get there, I want everyone to have the support they need — and Trans Lifeline goes a long way to making sure people have the support they need.”

Ramona will be selling the enamel pins in person at San Francisco ZineFest — and they’ll be available online again soon, after she irons out some order fulfillment details. Check out her website to stay up-to-date!

Ramona Sharples has raised $3,000 for Trans Lifeline from the sale of these pins. If you would like to make a similar impact by sharing your incredible talents, let us know at [email protected].
