Today I'll be speaking to Dionne Reid who is the ultimate multi-hyphenate and just general bringer of vibes in whatever she does.

She is in no particular order a singer, creative director, Play ambassador and Chemistry coach.

We will be discussing her longstanding career in music and how she recently utilised an opportunity to travel back to her home roots of Jamaica to get back in touch with her voice again after falling out of love with the process and the expectations.

We also talk about Dionne’s love for play and through her company Kid in You; she has connected adults from all over the world to step outside of their comfort zone, loosen up and build meaningful connections. I have actually had the opportunity to be a part of one of these sessions on International Women's day and it is just so good being able to tap into that childlike part of you, especially amongst complete strangers.
