Two enigmas from two different generations: Carole Field and Nishat Hashem. Another International Women's Day edition.

Starting from what it's like to be a woman in today's creative industry, to dating for the modern career woman all the way through to expressing yourself through your creative process: we cover it all in this explosive couch conversation.

Writer, psychotherapist, international lecturer and Apojo member Carole Field has had an incredible career in the creative industry spanning over several decades as a dancer, actor and writer. She has travelled the world and taken in the creative sensibility everywhere.

Apojo Publications is not only celebrating International Women's Day on March 8 but throughout the month. Here is a sneak peek at one of the manuscripts available on our platform that is all about female empowerment "Triple Zero". Enjoy and join us for more throughout the month as we enthusiastically celebrate female centric story-telling, women writers, producers and creatives from all walks of life.

International Women’s Day is more about celebrating successful women. It’s about understanding the adversities faced by many due to lack of equity and equality; it’s about having conversations around unconscious bias and fear driven decision making by our counterparts that hinder growth; it’s about shedding a light on the very many numerous ways a strong woman’s voice is weakened if they do not mould to someone else’s norm. We are choosing to shed a spotlight on the same.

In Part II of Episode 1, Season 2 we continue our conversation with Producer Mark Byers on all things animation.

At the end of the episode, we start our International Women's Day celebration early by giving you a sneak peek on what's to come throughout the month as we celebrate works of talented Apojo members - female writers, producers and collaborators.


At the end of the episode we share a snippet of "Triple Zero" - a manuscript written by one of our members and currently on sale on Apojo.


We will release the full reading on March 8 in commemoration of International Women's Day.
