Growing up in an Asian context, art is often seen as a “waste of time” and some would even say it’s “non-essential”. Is it really though? 🤔 Join us as we chat with Leila, author of “A Safe Space”, on the value of creative expression, expressing your unique voice and using art to process your emotions! 🎨🎭✍🏼🎵🎸 In this episode, Leila shares more about growing up as a mixed heritage child in Singapore, her work with youths, how her book came about and got published during circuit breaker, and why she’s a huge advocate of creative expression. ✨ We hope you’ll enjoy the conversation as much as we did and we'd love to hear from you! Do hop over to our IG (@justbareit.co) and FB (@justbareit) to connect with us and you can check out Leila’s poetry at @letterswithleila on IG! 💛 P/s: We apologise for the quality of the audio towards the end due to connection issues.
