Welcome!

​

Hello Reader! We are off!

​

Thank you for joining me so far on the journey of starting this podcast, 'Creatives Like Us'. I don't take anything for granted - so thank you for allowing me to slide into your inbox.

​

Creatives Like Us is a podcast dedicated to opening up the conversation and amplifying the voices of underrepresented creatives, especially people of colour.

​

This podcast has an important message to share with you. Keep talking and keep sharing about people you hear on the podcast, and keep passing it on.

​

I have had great feedback and support in starting it. So, thank you for being here, too.

​

Today is also the day that I am in Shoreditch, London, where the inaugural event 'Creatives Like Us' is launching. So, it's a pleasure to announce today's guest on the episode as he is attending, which is out on the same day.

Meet...
