Empowering Creators with Sherry Collins SEEMO

Sherry Collins founded The Pitch Fanzine in 2015, a movement challenging inequality, discrimination and the lack of diversity in the creative industries, while simultaneously showcasing outstanding contemporary talent in its publication Pitch. Published four times per year, talent such as creatives, directors, photographers, brand founders, animators, illustrators, producers and multi-disciplinary artists, are showcased in Pitch. Copies are distributed to an exclusive, hand-picked, targeted list of influencers and decision-makers in the creative industry. In 2017, Sherry launched the Pitch 100 Superwomen initiative, the yearly list of women working behind the scenes in the creative industry making things happen. Sherry also launched Pitch Futures in 2017 to inspire and educate primary school children about the opportunities available to them in the creative industry. In this episode, we learn how Sherry has developed Pitch Fanzine, we talk about the latest issue 'Pitch Cool' and the importance of diversity.
