Throwback to last Friday, when one of our fave double acts & took to the stage for a little Q&A to celebrate the release of debut, chart topping book ‘Life Is Sad And Beautiful.’ Seeing his words bought to life on screen was beautiful and the friends and family vibe in the room was testament to the energy he brings. More of this please. Did we say: it’s hit the Sunday Times bestseller list?! 👀

The question that bemuses us the most: “So, how do you… talk to young people?”

Here we are at where we were asked by to come and explain the thing:

🔊 Young people are not a monolith: there are worlds of communities, cultures, identities & interests

🔊 The pandemic has highlighted & supercharged A LOT of existing challenges for the next generation - centre them & their voices to understand their needs

🔊 Be more accommodating in a post-pandemic world - how can you help them navigate an education, careers & opportunity crossroads none of us have ever experienced?

🔊 How can you help real world problems in an unwelcoming world?

🔊🔊🔊 Above all, empowering unheard voices is where the magic happens.
