Making art is embarrassing: time to embrace 'chalance'

When I signed up for Community Routes back in May, I had no idea whether I would be accepted into the highly competitive programme, let alone what it would involve if I did. Fast forward three months, and after struggling with the entrance door (just give it a good shove, there’s no button), I stood in the lobby of ACM Birmingham with the rest of my creative cohort, feeling like it was my first day of school.

ABOUT ME

Writing gives me great pleasure and in whatever way possible I'd like to share a bit of that joy with you.

My goal is to build a platform where I can help educate, empower and encourage through curiosity and asking questions.

A LITTLE RECOMENDATION

I have huge respect and admiration for Laura Bates. Not only does she come armed with statistics and revelatory data she's also incredibly concise, engaging and funny. While Everyday Sexism is a difficult read at times, it presents so many vital truths about our society and is ultimately both rewarding and empowering. I think all genders, all members of society would benefit from reading this book.
