Passionate about giving a chance to marginalised voices, particularly BAME and LGBTQ+ artists, and people who wouldn’t otherwise have access to the arts due to socio-economic background. She aims to facilitate safe spaces that champion vulnerability, authenticity and connection, where dialogues can take place across different intersections of identity.
