Creative consultancy
Looking for a consultant for your arts and/or culture organisation? I use my decades of experience and transdisciplinary approach, working with arts and culture orgs, ‘the creative industries’, as well as ‘wellBeing worlds’ and ‘new technology hubs’. I listen and observe ‘challenges’ identified, and share ideas on how to create exciting, immersive and transformational experiences for the community which are accessible, inclusive and sustainable!

some context for potential collaborators…
My particular ‘lenses’ of the world are shaped by being a black, mixed-heritage (to use the language of this particular moment of time*), transnational, transcultural, disabled, survivor, person-living-with-a-chronic-illness, neurodivergent-spicy-emergent human from a working-class background, amongst many Other multifaceted ways of Being…
I’m invested in co-creating more inclusive, accessible, sustainable ways of being which are trauma responsive, compassionate and non-snooty.
I’m interested in equity, agency, infinite possibilities and freedom for us all. Holding space for kindness and compassion and spaciousness in our healing processes of learning-unlearning-untangling + all the glorious moments in-between is important to me as creatures of this earth, ever-in-process.
*Sidenote: i’m reluctant to attach myself to labels unless they feel liberatory so using language which feels resonant at this moment in time and holding space for the ✨power✨ language has, as well as the ✨potential✨ it holds for change. I am as much of a ‘student-learner-beginner’ as i am an ‘elder millennial’, holder of ‘decades of experience’ and ‘qualifications’ and ‘artist-teacher-facilitator-spaceholder + maker’. These things co-exist and i’m happy for that to be so (ever-learning-unlearning-reframing-refining-remixing-always!) 💜
