I’ve always used artistic expression to explore what’s important to me – now my focus is on equality, women in politics and leadership. I believe in the power of storytelling to engage and communicate human values and experiences. With this in mind, I created Dancing Backwards, to reach out to youth and inspire them to use storytelling to counter alienation and teach each other about equality. The results are stunning – there is hope for the future!
