In our first episode, we lay the foundations by exploring the reality of being BPOC creatives in Scotland's creative spaces and what people want.

Recorded live at We Are Here Scotland's Creator Showcase at Edinburgh's Assembly Roxy, host Ica Headlam speaks with employment lawyer and radio presenter Rupa Mooker about navigating predominantly white creative spaces, the exhaustion of being "the only one," and the power of community-led spaces.

We also hear from showcase attendees about their experiences of exclusion, belonging, and creating their own opportunities in Scotland's creative sector.

From microaggressions to safe spaces, from allies to disruptors - this episode sets the foundation for understanding why Black and Global Majority-led spaces in the creative industries matter.

Main Guest: Rupa Mooker - Employment lawyer, radio presenter on Awaz FM
