Pls DONT leave ur 9-5s reading “inspirational” twitter or instagram captions! Make sure your day job is funding your side “dream job” youre doing, THEN when you have a lot of guranteed/steady freelance work, make the move.
People have incomes/ help/ security nets they dont show.

Tomorrow I teach 25 teachers how to implement rap & spoken word into their classrooms.
I spent most of my school life in the corridor, on report, on isolation & excluded.
Ahhh life.

working in the arts means EVERY SINGLE DAY, a middle class person with no connection to ends, community, lived experience ASKS us to DO THEIR JOB for participation, outreach & contacts, as a "favour". If you CANT earn your salary, pension & benefits MAYBE resign?! Im tired.

I have never had alcohol, never smoked and never done any drugs.
I’ve battled through downs, owned everything I’ve done with nothing to blame & stayed true to myself.
Its also made me FEEL my emotions & recognise them.
In a family of alcoholism issues, I’m proud of myself.

And we have been actioning toward this, created an all female hip hop tour in the UK, and balancing incredible female line ups all year, made BBC news, but many broadcasters, DJs & promoters still don’t speak up about this important dialogue!

Sad that delusional staff can run a school. I wonder how the students he’s provided opportunities for in Cambridge would respond, how many young authors he has created opportunities for & actually how many Stormzy tracks shes listened to.
I bet her school is run like a prison.
DMs to me from a prison officer.
Those of you promoting Stormzy have no idea of the damage you do.
It may make you feel ‘cool’ and trendy but it destroys the lives of young black men. ☹️

freelancers / artists remember to have boundaries in your work / passion hours, even if you have a hustle mindset.. your body needs rest, you will burnout.. you need to feel safe to be healthy.

Taking a Persian mum food shopping means 6 differently locations for items you literally could have bought in one place, because next doors aubergines are better, down the road the water is cheaper, up the hill the rice cooks faster & round the corner we are loyal customers.

Fun random memories:
This year at a festival, a whole fully grown adult man suckin on a child’s balloon, stormed over to me, put his arm around my neck & when I stepped away he shouted “BABE WHY YOU BEING SO AGGRESSIVE THO?”
A adult man. With a balloon in his mouth.

Oh my days this is stunning!!! all of the thread!
The Socotra Island in Yemen has long been a land of mystery. Described as ‘The Galapagos of the Middle East’ & ‘The Jewel of Arabia,’ the unspoiled alien-like landscape of the island has intrigued travelers & scientists for decades.

Don’t worry if your closest friends/family don’t support your creative job you put your energy & time in. I know it’s fustrating BUT leaves space for REAL fans, genuine supporters who love what you do, not owe you a loyalty coz they your cousin or mate. People see real fanbase!

If youre in/ a workplace that offers work experience to young people & youre still sending them to do coffee runs & photocopy then you need to re-evaluate. You literally have the opportunity to offer such a life changing experience to sit in on crucial meetings & meet execs.
