Thank for the interview… one thing I’m always going to say… value creatives wherever they are based. Just because you afford to be in London, love networking, doesn’t mean you’re making the best work. 😘

It’s been 63 years since suicide was decriminalised in the UK. But so many of us still use the term ‘commit suicide’. Why does it matter? Language that links suicide and crime can increase stigma and prevent people struggling with suicidal thoughts from speaking out. If we choose language like ‘died by suicide’ or ‘took their own life’ we allow space for open conversations and compassion. Let’s choose our words carefully. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

Thank you to the wonderful @philippagkelly for including me in this piece. Last night Towards New Worlds opened @mimauseful due to the nourishment & care of curators. Vulnerability, risk taking encouraged in the arts made this work possible!
