Carolyn has worked as a Senior Producer and Arts Manager within theatre, young people’s work, outdoor and site-specific shows, UK and International touring, and festivals. She’s a passionate advocate of racial and social justice and currently Executive Director and Joint CEO of Talawa, the UK's outstanding Black theatre company and a co-opted member of UK Theatre Board. 

Carolyn and I discussed her own career path including roles in children’s theatre and the importance of creativity when you’re young. We talked a lot about the importance of providing a platform for black and global majority voices and talent in theatre, representation and how it feels as a black person if you don’t recognise yourself and your community on stage, screen and in literature. We also chat about her own creative pursuits and learning from our Grandmothers.
