Performance by Happy Looks Beautiful
About the Creation
Happy Looks Beautiful put together an empowering storytelling and public speaking performance for the Haringey Feast at Alexandra Palace.
For this project, Happy Looks Beautiful built a community group of 25 women called The Beautiful Speakers to develop skills in confidence building, public speaking and storytelling techniques.
Through classes at Hornsey Library, Happy Looks Beautiful encouraged women of different races, cultures, and backgrounds to form connections.
