While in London I had the absolute joy of finally meeting one of my dear friends in person, the extraordinary Mariah Mannae. Mariah and I met in an online writing course with Stella award winning author Heather Rose in 2020, and have kept in touch ever since.
Mariah’s podcast is a celebration of women in the arts and what it means to be a creative in this troubled world. It was such a privilege to be her first guest on the show.
Here we discuss the writing process, creative blocks, the residency experience we shared, being women in the arts and what it takes to find courage and power in our voices.
I can’t wait to keep following this podcast and see who Mariah interviews next!
Mariah is a writer, director, producer and teacher, and one of the most talented women I know. You can follow all her exciting upcoming projects on instagram @mariahmannae
