Goals and Verses: Charity's Story

This episode of the Heard Storytelling podcast was recorded live in Miami for our Goal Click Heard event. Charity shares how her passions for football and spoken word poetry intersect and influence her life.

Reflecting on the process of crafting a spoken story for a live audience, she highlights the early impact of losing a football game and how it taught her to handle defeat and shaped her approach to life's challenges.

Charity also talks about using football and poetry to cope with the grief of losing her parents, finding healing on the pitch and through writing.

Join us for this inspiring episode as Charity vividly demonstrates how the worlds of football and poetry provide not just comfort but also profound life lessons.

This episode was hosted by Colette Burroughs-Rose and Caroline Dyer.
