In this episode, Tolu Agbelusi is in discussion with multi-award winning poet, playwright, librettist, scholar and educator Dr Rommi Smith. This is a conversation that challenges us to consider the dualities we inhabit particularly as regards power & vulnerability and how resourcefulness is essential to defining what and who a strong woman is, in the context of the challenging world we call home.  Far from any ideas of strength and becoming as a solo endeavour, Rommi reflects with great joy and gratitude on those who have played a pivotal role in who she gets to be in the world.
