Heritage: Anne Harper: Irish Musician & Storyteller

Anne Harper from Co.Down discusses her music & storytelling career. Anne shares her love of Irish heritage & history, folklore & nature. She describes the campaign to save a neolithic burial place from destruction. We discuss our shared neurodivergence in the context of being a creative entrepreneur & feminine power. We discuss birth and the power of Mother Nature in the face of "development". Anne embodies a strong Irish woman who follows her passions and is making the world a better place. I learned so much from our chat and I'm sure you will enjoy it too.Anne's Links:Website: anneharper.co.uk. Twitter: www.x.com/_f_i_l_i Instagram: www.instagram.com/anneharpercodown.
