Voicebox: Identity and Equality

Identity and Equality

We believe that the arts, and society as a whole, is better when it is diverse. Better representation, equal opportunities, and a voice for everyone should be an expectation, not a pipe dream. There should be more accurate depictions of LGBTQ+ relationships on screen, more BAME talent celebrated in award ceremonies, and more access for disabled people in theatre. People should be able to see themselves represented and acknowledged in society. Our differences are what make us the same, and we should cherish that, and build upon it to make a better world for all.

    ADDitude Woman: My mind works a triple shift everyday

    by Fiona Tovey Contributor

    ADD in women is often underdiagnosed and misrepresented as simply being ‘ditzy’. The reality is a brain that is working overtime to the point of despair or exhaustion. International Women’s Day is a perfect time to celebrate neurodiversity in women
