This winter I was honoured to be asked to contribute to the Dangerous Women Project, a fantastic initiative currently running out of the University of Edinburgh. The project asks the question ‘what does it mean to be a dangerous woman?’ and is posting a different response each day for a year (between International Women’s Day 2016 & 2017). For the project I was interviewed in advance of my upcoming workshop for the Audacious Women Festival by the wonderful Jess Orr, a fellow PhD researcher and one of the festival organisers. Jess and I talked about what it’s like being a female spoken word artist in today’s scene, especially the experience of being loud in a culture that generally expects women to be more demure. We also chatted about the poem I wrote for YWCA Scotland for their Envision 2035 campaign, which I’ve linked below. The link to the interview is here; check it out if you’re interested, and definitely peruse the other posts on the site as it’s full of fascinating research, creative work, and essays from a wide diversity of women. Hope you have a great week!
