Hi I'm Flossie McKnight. I'm an actor, writer, creator of sovereignspace.blog and host of ArtResistanceSurvival The Podcast. I'm also a mental health support worker/overdose responder working in the DTES since 2014. This podcast is a place to learn, to fail, to become empowered in a changing world and industry. This podcast is for you, especially if you find the business you once knew changing in ways you don't understand. This podcast is for you is you feel silenced, suppressed and denied. You are an artist, you have a right to be, you don't have a right to oppress others even if it is by accident. You can change the world. Ready?
