Beverley Knight: I Always Bet On Myself

Об эпизоде

<p>Singer, songwriter, and performer Beverley Knight is one of Britain&#39;s most celebrated artists and a woman who has spent her career breaking boundaries on her own terms.</p><p>Beverley and Anita talk about the ambition and determination that have carried her through more than three decades in the music industry. From a life-changing trip to see Prince in concert that would eventually lead to an extraordinary friendship with her musical hero, to forging a path as a Black British soul artist in the 1990s, Beverley reflects on the experiences that taught her to trust her instincts and stay true to herself.</p><p>She speaks candidly about navigating an industry that often struggled to make space for her, her advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community and HIV awareness, and the resilience it took to weather criticism without compromising her values. We also discuss her award-winning move into musical theatre, including her portrayal of Emmeline Pankhurst in <em>Sylvia</em>, and why she&#39;s more excited than ever to explore new creative challenges.</p><p>This is a conversation about longevity, reinvention, and the importance of believing in yourself, even when other people don&#39;t.</p><p>If you enjoyed the show, follow us at…</p><p>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sistersofdefiance/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@sistersofdefiance</a> </p><p>Anita - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/itsanitarani/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@itsanitarani</a> </p><p>Beverley - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/beverleyknight/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@beverleyknight</a></p><br><p>Subscribe to us on YouTube - <u><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@itsanitarani" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@itsanitarani</a></u> </p><p>And if you&#39;ve got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at: <u><a href="mailto:hello@sistersofdefiance.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">hello@sistersofdefiance.com</a></u> </p><p>Sisters of Defiance is nourished by Ancient &amp; Brave</p><p><a href="https://ancientandbrave.earth/pages/planet" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ancientandbrave.earth</a></p><br><p>Our official charity partner, Choose Love, is a movement of people who are putting love into action.
