For episode 36 we were at Creative Equals: Rise, which took place on the 15th May (a week ago). Creative Equals is all about inclusive creativity - creativity for all, designed by all. You can find out more about their mission here: http://www.creativeequals.org/ The day unfolded with an abundance of incredible, inspiring and sometimes challenging; speakers, panels and a fishbowl! With my colleague and Greater than 11% alumni (episode 17 in the playlist), Ursie Downes, we set to capturing a flavour of the day. Episode 36 is split into two parts, owing to inability to cram all the goodness of the day into less than a one hour. In part 1 you will hear:  Pip Jamieson, Founder and CEO of The Dots, discuss her role as the events MC and the importance of intersectional diversity. Ali Hanan, founder and CEO of Creative Equals share a temperature reading of where we are now and the focus for bringing about a more diverse workforce in her talk kicking off the event. The hilarious and infectiously energetic; actress, comedian and activist, Samantha Renke, discuss tokenism. Managing Partner of Econsultancy, Richard Robinson discuss the panel he chaired: 'What is Keeping CMO's up at Night?'  From the respectively uber passionate Marine Tanguy of MTArt Agency and Mimi Gray, Head of Visual Content at M&C Saatchi, share the importance of healthy and well balanced Visual Diet.  And, from incredible artist Adelaide Damoah after her performance - she shares her personal journey to becoming an artist.  You will also hear from a number of people attending the Event and their experiences of the day. 🛎 We need your help pushing for change: a more diverse creative industry within years, not decades.
