What happens to a life when you have to leave home aged 16?

And how does it feel to experience homelessness as a mother with young children?

Flic McCann is a playwright who changed her life when she poured her pain onto the page. In our conversation we discuss:

• How it feels to move to another country and marry into a culture outside of your own as a young woman
• The impact of overt racism when raising your children
• Misconceptions around homelessness
• The common kinship and hardships faced by women around the world
• How to rebuild when you feel like you've hit rock bottom

This is a very powerful episode, and one in which Flic shares some of the prejudicial language she faced as the mother of children with mixed heritage.

If you'd like to watch Flic's work being performed, it will be on at the Boardwalk Theatre in Glasgow on April 27th 2024.
