We forgot to post the second part of Shreya’s article on the fabulous song-writing workshops she led for Nottingham UNESCO City of Literature last year so here it is!

Working with a large number of diverse, individual, secondary school students in Nottingham, UK, and the rhythms and words that speak to them, Shreya guided the youngsters in creating striking lyrics about their everyday and yet very important worlds.

Shreya speaks to a packed British high school hall about creative careers and leadership for women, on a panel assembled by Britain’s biggest literacy charity, National Literacy Trust, and cosmetics giant Lancôme

She had this to say afterwards, “Lovely to get a thank you note from the National Literacy Trust, about my involvement with the Women in Leadership programme — ‘Your contribution definitely made a difference to the young people there!’. Even lovelier was the on-the-day feedback from the hundred (or so) young delegates who declared that they found my words and career “inspiring” and came across after the talk to chat some more about work and life (and book and film recommendations)! A thought-provoking and rewarding event, run by Lancôme and the National Literacy Trust.”
