Welcome to this weeks episode of Hear me RAW where I have the extraordinarily talented Jess Scully - curator, author and Deputy Lord Mayor of Sydney. Jess was the founding director of Vivid Ideas and has curated creative sector events including one of my all time faves – TEDx Sydney. She has also hosted a number of my very own Collective Hub events over the past seven years.

In 2019 she was elected Deputy Lord Mayor of the City of Sydney. She advocates for new models to address the housing crisis and support workforces of the future. She is also committed to opening up politics to a younger and more diverse group of people. She has recently authored her first book – Glimpses of Utopia – Real Ideas for a Fairer World which is a call to optimism. She shares ideas and case studies from the world over about humans rising up to confront our challenges with creativity, resilience and compassion. She believes that by harnessing technology and imagination, we can reshape our world to be fair and sustainable.
