Living Authentically
------------------------------------------------------------


**
To live an authentic life is about looking beyond trends and preestablished rules, knowing who you are and what you need as an individual. Yet living authentically is not only about the actions we take as individuals, but the communities that we belong to as well. It is through this sense of belonging that we find the courage to go against the grain.

This panel celebrates the many forms authenticity can take; from expressing your true self loudly and proudly, to embracing your sensitivities. Hosted by multi-award winning writer and journalist Yomi Adegoke, we’ll hear from four panellists, each with their own unique perspective on what it means to live authentically today and how can we truly embrace our individuality.

Tickets are £10 and redeemable against purchases made on the night. Limited number available, book now!

Our Host
Award-winning journalist Yomi Adegoke is a weekly columnist at The Guardian and has a monthly column at both British Vogue and the i paper. Over the past few years, she has become one of the country’s leading voices on race, feminism and pop culture. In 2018 she co-authored the bestselling book Slay In Your Lane: The Black Girl Bible and was named one of the most influential people in London by the Evening Standard.

Our Panellists
Michael Bond is a writer and consultant. His work explores psychology, human and social behaviour and how people interact with each other. He has published
multiple highly praised books and also written for The Observer, The Times and The New York Times to name a few. His latest book, Fans: A Journey Into the Psychology of Belonging, due for publication in May 2023, is an investigation into worlds of obsession, belonging and human connection. It explores the remarkable reasons why people come together in pursuit of their shared enthusiasms.

Amy Zing is a festival director, co-founder of beloved LGBTQ+ collective Sink the Pink; director of Margate Pride and POW!, a festival celebrating feminism. With a background as a BBC radio producer, in 2008 Amy co-founded Sink The Pink. In 2016 Amy co-founded Margate Arts Club and Margate Pride (which has grown from 500 attendees to a much-loved community event attracting crowds of 10,000+), as well as co-founding OUT Margate, an LGBTQ-friendly youth club, recognised by Amnesty International as an essential community support service.

Dean Atta is an award-winning British author and poet, whose works have been praised by the likes of Bernardine Evaristo and Malorie Blackman. His novel in verse, The Black Flamingo, about a black, gay teen finding his voice through drag, performance and fashion, won the Stonewall Book Award and was shortlisted for numerous further prestigious awards. His poetry collection, There Is (Still) Love Here, explores acceptance, queer joy and the power of unapologetically being yourself and fully embracing who you are.

Harriet Gibsone is a former Guardian culture writer, who began her career as a runner for MTV, before becoming a music journalist in the 00s, writing for publications such as Q, NME, Time Out and Nylon. She spent eight years as a Guardian staff writer and editor and now has a column for its weekend magazine. Her highly anticipated book Is This OK? Becoming a Woman on the Internet, is a memoir of contemporary womanhood that explores Harriet’s own experience with insecurities in the age of the internet, and how her diagnoses of early menopause in her late twenties played a part in this.

As part of Fenwick's Individuality campaign, The Power of Individuality panel series will take place in April and May in Fenwick of Bond Street. Tickets are priced at £10 per person, redeemable against purchases made on the night. Welcome drinks will be served from 6pm on the second floor, with the panel discussion starting promptly at 6:30pm.
