‘Celebrating our strengths and harnessing our challenges’
Founder & Creator Kelly Munro-Fawcett - A neurodivergent Actor & Joint Artistic Director of RedBobble Arts
The whys…
Female ADHD Empowerment is a place for us to occupy, to explore our own lived experience, to reflect on our journey’s so far and to celebrate our skills, whilst learning to harness our challenges for optimum functioning. This programme of work is born out of a desire to empower, connect, uplift and upskill women with Female ADHD.
We are exceptionally creative beings, talented problem solvers, skilled communicators and we have lots to offer the world. We have faced much stigma in our time, both societally and self directed and it’s time to change our narratives and those we see around us.
Female ADHD is most definitely something we should celebrate. Let’s rewrite the rulebook; We are not ‘chaotic,’ we are innovative. We are not ‘overly emotional’ we have a rich inner life and we are here to take our rightful space.
The hows….
In 2021 Kelly gained a pot of funding from Arts Council England under the ‘Develop Your Creative Practice’ programme. Kelly’s background is in performance, theatre, community engagement, creative education & mental health. She has also been running creative workshops for over 10 years in many settings, for the NHS, Mind, Salford Council, various theatres, education settings and to artists alike. During lockdown, Kelly finally received her own formal diagnosis for ADHD and she began to think about amalgamating her skills to create this programme of work to help herself and others thrive. After a year of research and development Female ADHD Empowerment was born.
