Join us for a thrilling morning as celebrated author Matt Haig and multi-hyphenate artist Jordan Stephens come together for a special discussion, hosted by best selling author, Dj and broadcaster Annie Macmanus.
Matt Haig, the bestselling writer whose heartfelt works including The Midnight Library and The Life Impossible have touched millions of readers around the globe, will bring his unique perspective on mental health, hope, and the human experience. Known for his ability to transform personal struggles into universal truths, Haig has become one of the most essential voices on living authentically in the modern day.
Alongside him will be Jordan Stephens, one half of Rizzle Kicks, whose creative journey has progressed from chart-topping music to powerful advocacy work around mental health and social justice. Stephens brings a fresh, uncompromising voice to conversations about masculinity, creativity, and finding purpose beyond fame. He’ll also touch upon his radically candid memoir, Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak and Dogs.
Together, guided by Annie Macmanus’s insightful interviewing style, they’ll explore the intersection of creativity and wellbeing, the courage required for vulnerability, and how art can become a lifeline in our most challenging moments. This promises to be a deeply moving and inspiring conversation.
It will be a conversation worth hearing and a rare opportunity to witness a dialogue about mental health, creativity, and resilience with two compelling contemporary voices, expertly facilitated by one of broadcasting’s finest talents.
