Familiar Struggle

Film exploring… the imposter syndrome which is common. My experience as an artist over my career I have struggled with this always felt not good enough, inadequate and not taken seriously due to my upbringing and my regional accent. When you are born in Barnsley you know you are the under class from the get go then there’s the Irish and traveller psyche to add!! The STW experience alongside my own work on myself has shifted this massively. For the first time I felt my voice was worth listening to and that what I have to contribute is valid. The whole experience has raised my profile yes but more importantly my confidence. Not everything is what it seems and although I may seem confident on the outside internally I have struggled which has effect me personally for years,

I now know that this inadequacy is inherited within our DNA and our blood memory.
