‘Very exciting to be asked to help co-produce this event by the producers of WOMXN TALKING. The whole journey from marketing to the final event was a very personal and authentic journey for everybody involved. The evening provided an interesting amount of performance and heart felt storytelling that was very moving and touched each member of the audience. With a mixture of male actors and ‘lived experience’ men openly telling their stories. It was a unique, inspirational and very memorable show which touched many hearts. I cannot wait for the HUMXN TALKING’ M.C. Co-producer.
