Culture is a tough business and there are so few opportunities where you can talk about and reflect on being a cultural professional which is why I have created this podcast and associated Facebook group.

I believe cultural professionals should be allowed to THRIVE not just survive.

But that doesn’t happen by accident and one way of building resilience is by sharing our experiences

In these podcasts we meet a range of cultural professionals who hold leadership roles in different art forms and in different contexts all at different stages of their career.

But that doesn’t happen by accident and one way of building resilience is by sharing our experiences

I hope you can use our conversations to reflect on your situation and if you wish to talk further message me at linkedin or join the facebook group.

I don’t want any cultural professional to think they are on their own. There is help out there if and when you need it.

Today's episode is with the photographer Lamar Francois, it's well worth a listen.
