Great night @GalaDurham last night watching #YarnsFromHyem. Not only are the whole team extremely talented, they’re also thoroughly lovely, and you’d all do well to support them! Catch it while you can and support your local arts scene ❤️

A big thank you to everyone who has or continues to interact with/show support. We need each other to get to a place where we want to in this industry and it’s been beautiful to see empowerment over loads of competitiveness, if one of us rises we all rise, more stuff to come❤️
It’s been 4 years since @SouthAsianA was started up & not to be dramatic or cringe but it intrigues me to think how my life would look like rn had it not been for it, it’s important to find things that ground yourself & it’s made me feel so much more connected to myself & others

Something really sad has happened. If you can help or share, I would appreciate it so much. Thank you 😢
We have devastating news 💔
A water pipe burst above our Hillsborough shop front, that we worked so hard to get & transform, & 75% of our stuff is destroyed.
We have insurance but it doesn't cover all the costs. If you can help/share we'd be so grateful
