NJC Chat to Author & Artist Karen McLeod about her new book. 'Lifting Off'

NJC's Trevor Jenkins & Kaylie Kay Chat to Author & Artist Karen McLeod about her new book. 'Lifting Off'. Welcome back to an another episode of Not Just Crew. Today I’ll be joining by author and NJC contributor Kaylie Kay as we chat to Karen McLeod about her new book 'Lifting Off'. Karen has had some excellent reviews in the national media regarding her book, so Not Just Crew wanted to dip a little bit deeper about the book and her background as cabin crew for a long haul airline in the 1990s. Karen tells us about her early years in the airlines and how it shaped her future self. This part of a review from the Scene Magazine written by: Eric Page eplaines: 'Karen is a flight attendant whose professional life is a symphony of sky-high adventures, gossip, BA protocols, drinking and in-flight escapades. But beneath the polished uniform and the endless sky lies a turbulent inner world where she grapples with the storm clouds of living a lie. This journey is one many in the LGBTQ community will find painfully relatable: the struggle to reconcile her true self with the expectations of those around her, all while maintaining the poise and grace demanded by her job'. As an artist she has a character on a comedy circuit called Barbara Brown skirt. If you are free on the 29th of September, check out her show at the Ironworks Theatre in Brighton.
