Have you ever wondered how personal experiences can shape professional journeys? What if I told you about Christina, an accomplished playwright and performer, who currently champions diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) at Soho House? Her compelling journey from being a soccer player and opera singer to discovering her passion for acting and education is nothing short of inspiring.
Her powerful one-woman show about her disabled sister not only touched hearts but also steered Christina towards the world of DEI.
In our chat, we also discuss her play 'Dangerous Giant Animals,' a poignant reflection on her relationship with her sister, showcasing the often overlooked perspectives on disability, violence, and caregiving within families.
Christina helps us understand the intricate process of creating such impactful plays and how they become instrumental in advocating for social change.
Wearing multiple hats can be challenging. Between managing DEI at Soho House and writing plays, Christina gives us valuable insight into effectively managing time and creative energy. We explore the concept of privilege in DEI, how resilience fuels her work, and the importance of storytelling in bridging art and advocacy. Christina's story is a testament to how personal experiences and unyielding commitment can shape a more inclusive and diverse workforce. Tune in to get inspired!
