Takeaways

1. Beauty matters.

2. Beauty is a whisper of our humanity.

3. If you’re going to use the wheel, break the rules.

4. Even extroverts need quiet spaces.

5. The reason art and beauty exist is to remind us that we matter. Feeling seen and heard shouldn't be based on a post code and it shouldn't be a luxury, it should be a birthright.
