We are so excited to kick off Season 2 of ‘This is a Token’ with the witty and wonderful Raven Smith. Raven is a wearer of so many interesting hats - from Humorist, Writer and Cultural Commentator to Instagrammer, Style Icon and more recently Jewellery Designer! You will of course recognise Raven and his slightly naughty influence from our genderless collaboration, 'Alex Monroe x Raven Smith'.

Listen in, as Raven and Alex have a fun and fascinating chat about his most meaningful ’tokens’. From a pair of pinky signet engagement rings left intentionally blank, to a theatrical necklace he has lived in for the past 9 years highlighting the sheer sentimentality of those personal treasures that sit next to your skin and your heart every single day. Plus, as is always promised with Raven, there are some hilarious reflections on being a chronic extrovert, Poirot as a cure for insomnia and how volunteering as marshall during the pandemic brought out his inner head girl!
