-Poetry from Vanessa Melody
Vanessa Melody is singer-songwriter and poet of Afro-Caribbean descent, born and raised in Bristol.
In 2018, confined to her bed due to a 3 week bout of illness, she produced over 50 poems that were later compiled and published through Balboa Press, in a book called 'Rise To Freedom Her Story in Rhyme'
Her poem, Mother Nature, is about how she spends a lot of time in the natural spaces in the area where she lives in Eastville. Mother Nature takes care of her, guides her and when she is still enough, she can hear, feel, see and taste the essence of life that sustains her. She believes it is the same for us all because we are one, we are all connected.
-Comedy from Pravanya Pillay
2008 Sir Henry Floyd Form Representative Pravanya Pillay is a comedian and youth empowerment leader. In 2017 she founded Stomping Ground, an organisation which empowers young people of colour by transforming Bristol’s arts and cultural landscape so that it is fully accessible and representative.
A director, writer and performer her comedic style is like marmite (yeasty) and leaves you wondering: “did I hate that?”. Pravanya Pillay’s surreal, absurdist humour is always silly, always fun and always a bit pointless. Critics say “well she’s having a good time” and “wow, that’s a lot of energy”
-Pravanya chats to Aisha about her comedy inspiration, what she's learned in lockdown and her plans for the future.
