The Elephant Room

What an absolutely pleasure it was to host and collaborate with The Elephant Room #OneMonthMentors initiative at our Live Nation office, in celebration of #BlackHistoryMonth last week. A truly engaging evenkng bringing together creative minds, emerging talent, and industry leaders. The event was an opportunity to connect, network, spark meaningful conversations and hear about the work The Elephant Room is doing to empower the next generation of creatives, alongside Embrace Nation’s efforts to foster inclusion and representation. As someone who has been a mentor in their previous cohort and worked with the incredible Shannie Mears many times, this was a full circle moment. It was great meeting all the mentors and mentees! Many thanks to Dan Saxby and Shanice Mears FRSA , the team Malachy O'Keeffe, Dirujan Sabesan and Herman Sahota at WINGSTOP UK (Lemon Pepper Holdings Ltd) for providing the food and supporting the programme, Max Tweddle for the beers, Max Tweddle and Rosie Scott for the wine, Red Bull and Drip for the hydration!

⏳️Time flys when your having fun... It was only last year when I took part in this brilliant scheme. I met so many talented people: fellow mentees, speakers and was partnered up with my wonderful mentor rory hall The workshop day at the end of the programme with my fellow mentees and the team @catfordpride sharing our own stories in a safe space was very empowering. We had open conversations about how we each identify with labels, no labels, sexuality, gender, neurodivergence, creativity, as well as how we connect with and express our pride. I still love and wear my Clarks Torhill Bee's and they remind me to stand a little taller, step into my power and be share my pride 🌈 Thank you Clarks, The Elephant Room @catfordpride
