myClass Saturday 9 November - INSPIRATION

Here are the links to the inspirational talks which we watched extracts of in the class: 

Sean Stephenson - https://youtu.be/VaRO5-V1uK0 
If you have time, I thoroughly recommend listening to this longer talk which he gave just over a year ago. If you can't listen to it all, at least listen to the first 7 minutes.

Staceyann Chin (*Note - strong language warning) - https://youtu.be/7CKO_OETlMY 
This is by no means the strongest language Staceyann Chin uses in her poetry. Explore further at your own discretion. You can find her IG here - her daughter is amazing. https://www.instagram.com/staceyannchin/
