Happy Sunday Ya'll

Today's post is about a podcast I listened to during the week on BBC Radio 4 Women's Hour. It was about Dyslexia and it's superpowers.

Being the biggest dyslexic myself, they were discussing about its advantages and disadvantages. My biggest advantage about being dyslexic is that I have creativity to help me overcome this challenge (learning difficulty). Many people find it hard to be creative or a lateral thinker. Being dyslexic has allowed my creative self to explore many areas of my personal life. Whether it being my work, home or love life, my Dyslexia will always intervene. It's a part of me, who I am today and who I will be in the future. Creativity is my dyslexic diagnosis and my super power.

The Art Of Craft This year has already seen exhibitions which feature craft as art: 'Unravelled' at the Turner Contemporary in Margate, 'Between Things' at Colchester School of Art (featuring Celia Pym whose ‘distressed’ knitwear is one of the finalists at the V&A) not forgetting all the shortlisted makers of the 'Women's Hour Craft Prize' exhibited at the V&A. The ‘Women’s Hour Craft Prize’ will also be touring the country next year. Crafting is big business - it is estimated that the UK economy is boosted by £3.4 billion due to people honing their skills, purchasing materials and supplies and selling their handmade creations. Craft fairs such as 'Renegade', 'The Crafty Fox' and the 'Bust Craftacular' attract loyal followers and huge crowds. #chapeaulondon #chapeaublog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #wordsandpictures #amazing #london #lifestyle #theartofcraft #womenshourcraftprize #radio4 #bbc #womenshour #craft #vam (at Victoria and Albert Museum)

In the 1970’ s the world of radio was dominated by men. It was hard for women to get into top jobs and have their voices heard across the airwaves. Radio was viewed as a tough and often misogynistic world. But it wasn’t always that way. In the days of radio broadcasting’s infancy in Britain, a group of feisty women were in there with the best of them, making radio for women, about women and by women. And securing top jobs and conditions like maternity leave at the BBC before all women had even secured the vote. Dr Kate Murphy was a senior producer at BBC radio 4’s woman’s hour, before moving on to study the history of woman radio makers. She’s presenting a talk at UTS in Sydney tonight on the Surprising Stories of women in the Early BBC.
