My guest today is Carol Russell who was nominated by Jane Evans, founder of the Uninvisibility Project and Who's Next guest from episode 4.
They met each other on a film course - where they both realised they knew writer and publisher Verna Wilkins and have been close and supportive friends ever since. Jane said of Carol, 'She's an amazing woman and we have the most incredible chats'.
Carol is a TV writer, traditional storyteller, founder and consultant.
In this episode we discuss the ups and downs of Carol's career so far, and delve into what led Carol found Fresh Voices UK, an organisation which aims to increase the representation of black, asian and minority ethnic voices in the TV industry.
One of my favourite things Carol said in this episode (and there were many snippets to choose from!) was 'it's not that I don't see and know the challenges, it's that I don't believe those challenges should stop us'. ❤️
She's such a smart, inspirational and lovely person - I hope you enjoy listening to this episode.
