I hope you love it! Please share the episode with your friends and on your Instagram stories - it makes a huge difference."Female empowerment or feminism in general is about allowing women - and that’s anyone who identifies as a woman - to live and thrive on her own terms.

Black Girl Festival founder Nicole Krystal Crentsil sits down to talk art, creativity and being a role model. Plus we ask: are kids racist?

This week we find out how our multitalented podcast guest, Nicole Crentsil, went from a degree in product design to carving out her own unique path, acquiring a number of job titles along the way.

But in her own time, Nicole is also a speaker for platforms like TEDx, and the founder and curator of Black Girl Festival and Unmasked Women. We find out how her journey has unfolded so far, and she imparts her advice for others who might also be questioning following the ‘right’ path: “Don’t panic. Those traditional routes aren’t the only way. There’s just so much more you can do.” ... This episode of Creative Lives was brought to you by Lecture in Progress. It was presented by Indi Davies and the editor was Ivor Manly.
