Enjoying catching up with @prospect_us #podcasts. Our Chair @DavidJGold talking to @HeartnSoulArt CEO Mark Williams about how they have adapted and innovated last year is inspiring. Always admired the Heart N Soul ethos #AssetBasedApproach #LivedExperience #LEX #DisabilityArt

@lemnsissay hope you loved @LivTorc poem. It perfectly summed up our conversation about artists looking at the world differently; like we said, ‘thank goodness for that! Her poem can be found at 24:37 after our chat. youtu.be/XA9ooMSe820?t=… Guaranteed to make you smile

It didn’t go unnoticed at The Aperture HQ that Amanda Gorman was a star of #BidenHarrisInauguration. We always have a star guest poet summing up social issues on every episode. #SocialChange #podcast #TrendSetters 🤣
