Ep. 11: Dhano Mc Nicol - Colo(u)r Outside The Lines. Break Out of Your Lane.

The Trinidadian founder of 'A Big Box of Crayons' is challenging people around the region to unleash their creativity -with the help of a movement of Caribbean creatives and thinkers.

In this episode, we take the mic to Trinidad and talk to ‘creative-preneur’ Dhano Mc Nicol, the mind behind the brand A Big Box of Crayons.

A BigBox of Crayons includes a podcast called We Are Crayons and a mini-documentary series called Shades of a Crayon; a mini-documentary series. He also blogs regularly about celebrating Caribbean positivity and the movement of the region's creatives, thinkers, and makers.

Christabel and Dhano reflect on the impact of being told to colo(u)r in the lines as a kid, the ways people in the Black diaspora have historically been told to stay in their lane - and why unleashing our creativity - in every way, from the library to the boardroom - is the best way to challenge that.
