Hey friends, welcome to my podcast miniseries. I'm a massive fan of podcasts, even more so over the past year, and so I wanted to do something special for my new EP 'Secrets I'll Never Tell' and create this series of conversations to go alongside it. A companion piece you could say. Each week for the next seven weeks, I'll be chatting to different performers, creatives and inspiring people about stories in their lives, vulnerabilities, sexuality, identity, mental health and loads more. There'll be some live performances, some laughter, maybe a few tears, and hopefully some really valuable conversations for you to enjoy that focus on some of the themes of 'Secrets I'll Never Tell' and beyond.

This week’s guest is the incredible Precious Adams, who's currently a junior soloist with the English National Ballet. She was born in Michigan, trained in Toronto, Monte Carlo, Moscow, and joined the English National Ballet in London in 2014. She became a first artist in 2017, a junior soloist in 2020, and in 2019 was named one of the BBC 100 Women - a list of one hundred inspirational and influential women from around the world. We spoke about the pressures of performing at such a high level, social media and its role in being a performer and creative in 2021, mental health in the world of dance and loads more. I loved this chat with Precious, and I hope you do too. 

This episode was recorded during lockdown in London, March 2021
