Hello. I am Ruth Ayisi, welcome to the Inspire in half an hour podcast.

 My first guest is an amazing talent! Meet Kenyan ballet dancer, Joel Kioko. He graduated last year from the English National School of Ballet, and I recently had the great pleasure to speak to him just before he left Kenya to join the renowned Joffrey Studio Company in Chicago. Joel talks about how his life in a poor neighbourhood in Kenya, how he coped with lockdown in the UK, his plans for the future, and much more!
