Our podcast guest this week is Humanities graduate (and soon-to-be MA student) and artist Layla Andrews, and there is a lot to discuss…

Layla talks about her studies and dissertation at the University, her work with wildlife charities and a refugee aid organisation, receiving a personal letter of encouragement from Barack Obama after she painted a portrait of the former US President, and why she was invited to Nelson Mandela’s London memorial.
