We invited a 100-strong chorus of artists, writers, musicians, broadcasters, sports stars and more to contribute to Now We’re Talking, a mental health campaign, run in partnership with Lyons Tea and Pieta House. Artist Carol Keogh spoke in the Hot Press Mental Health Special in a longer, in depth, piece, here is an extract of her thoughts...
Part of valuing and respecting yourself is not allowing yourself to be exploited and abused and guess what? Exploitation and abuse are rife in the arts and entertainment industries. And we have mental health issues? Go figure. It doesn't have to be that way though, does it? Maybe we can come together and demand better conditions - I dunno, like a country standing up to its former religious overlords or something. Oh, and did I mention cake? Eat cake. At any time. Cake is good.
Right, better go to bed. I'm up and out early on the Good Ship Leo! But don't mind me. Just keep talking.
