WHY WE'RE DOING IT

AND HOW IT ALL STARTED

After the most recent resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement, many conversations surrounding the student experience in drama school institutions were brought to the attention of the creative arts industry. As a wellbeing coach, Laura was part of numerous conversations that dealt with the current and ongoing mental health effect of these experiences. She asked herself how do we support the individuals and keep pushing the movement forward?

What started out as a mentorship programme supporting individuals from ethnically diverse backgrounds has transcended to a community organisation working to support, guide and empower the creative arts industry on it's journey to an inclusive workforce, whilst still maintaing our roots.

It is therefore the goal of this programme to change the narrative - to stand with those facing adversity and work to ending those experiences altogether.
