Hello my name is Ica Headlam I'm a Creative Practitioner based in Aberdeen Scotland. Up until May 2023 I was also a qualified children and families social worker with 10 years of experience supporting vulnerable young adults, and families across Aberdeen.

So a little more about me. In late 2017 I started to independently produce and host Creative Me Podcast a fortnightly show that explores creativity and arts in the North East of Scotland, with the aim of drawing a wider focus on Aberdeen's creative community.

I'm also the founder of We Are Here Scotland which is a nonprofit organisation that aims to amplify the voices of Global Majority artists and creatives across Scotland's creative industries.

I'm also a strong advocate for representation across the arts and value the importance of open and honest dialogue
