Not The Greatest Show

Over the past two weeks I’ve had the privilege of working with a group of remarkable, determined and inspiring women at Near FM

Community media is about making space for people to speak and be heard. Space where people know their voice matters.

Communities are stronger when more voices are part of the conversation. More often than not, voices do not simply appear in public spaces. They are fought for, invited, encouraged and supported.

Have a wonderful day, ladies.
