#12 Dee Mulrooney - Captain Ireland, artist, activist

We all deeply love Ireland... but we need to talk about it. In this episode we talk about the salvation of art, connection with the land, grá for mná (love for women), finding meaning and direction, loving the eejit out of yourself, cringe, naff, and the inexhaustible desire to live. Dee is an everyday Goddess. Her voice will transport you. Her relationship with and understanding of Ireland and Irishness will challenge, resonate, and inspire. Growler is Dee Mulrooney’s alter-ego, performance piece. She is an 82-year-old drum banging, shamanic alchemist, who transmutes women’s pain through storytelling, song and spoken word. She has a tongue like a lash and a heart of gold. You can check out her daily shenanigens @growlerspeaks on Instagram. Go raibh míle míle maith agat, a chara! Is bean iontach thú - You are a wonderful woman. Táim fíorshásta go bhfuil aithne agam ort - I am truly happy to know you :) @deemulrooney deirdre-mulrooney.com
