The Ideas Open Mic: Black History Month

A slightly different one from our usual F&F meetup, but it may be of interest! The Ideas Open Mic is my night of short talks on big ideas, followed by drinks and conversation. This edition is a **Black History Month special** on **Wed 14 Oct** at [The London Art Bar](londonartbar.com). Founders and freelancers spend a lot of time solving their own problems in their own heads. This is a good excuse to step outside that for an evening, hear some new ideas, and maybe meet your next collaborator. The lineup so far: a poet, and journalist Lance Casely-Hayford (who I'm co-producing with) on the media landscape, with more speakers to be announced. **We're also looking for more speakers**, and it's paid**.** Each speaker gets a £50 honorarium and free tickets for friends. If you have a story or idea you'd like to share that's somewhat on theme, you'd be very welcome to apply [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8enwUKA6F3trWygaaodQ9u0n6KNFAz0cmiCxHu9bU2v8GcA/viewform). Doors 7PM, talks from 7:30PM.
