So this week I was invited to join BAFTA Connect.
What's that?
According to the website:

In reality?
It'll be me standing in a busy room trying to overcome my crippling imposter syndrome.
But we've got to be in it to win it, right?
Plus, there's lots of wonderful people I know already who are a part of it.
I can probably just cling to one of them 👀
Life as an actor is an emotional see-saw at the best of times.
I've landed some of my favourite projects this year, but also feel a bit beaten down after a few too many (possibly near but you never know) misses.
So to get this news at the end of a long week was lovely!
Congrats to all other successful applicants and I look forward to seeing you at the networking events.
