Having Faith and Living with Neurofibromatosis
Adam Pearson has presented several BBC documentaries and plays a main character in the film Under The Skin, alongside Scarlett Johansson.

Breaking Up Bricky?
From Black History Month through to December this year, the black female owned organisation, Blacktress, have teamed up with Tristan Bates Theatre to bring a series of performances portraying stories about and written by black women. I attended one titled Regeneration.

It tells of her journey to activism throughout her struggle to find ’home’ in the historically diverse district.
