Should I Delete That?

Convicted drug-dealer to award-winning artist: Kevin Devonport

Ep. 168

Kevin Devonport is a multi-award winning artist - his work has been displayed worldwide to much acclaim… but his entry to the art world is not what you might expect because he learned to paint whilst he was serving a prison sentence for drug offences. 


In this conversation - we discuss how art helped Kevin rebuild his life from rock bottom. Prison reform is a complicated and nuanced topic - but Kevin’s story is testament to how creative programmes in prisons can inspire and give hope of a new life beyond prison.

    JOIN US LIVE IN EDINBURGH ON 3RD SEPTEMBER - Head to SIDTLive.com for more information and to purchase tickets.Today - we’re discussing a topic that’s deeply personal, sometimes overwhelming and often very difficult to talk about: fertility. We are joined by an incredible guest - Mr Ali Al Chami - a leading fertility doctor and the medical director of the Avenues fertility clinic in London. We asked you on Instagram for your questions for Ali - when is the right time to freeze your eggs? Could taking Ozempic or a GLP-1 help you to get pregnant? How can our lifestyles affect our fertility? We asked Ali all of those questions - and many more - to attempt to demystify fertility. Whether you're actively going through treatment, thinking about your future, or just want to better understand the emotional and medical realities of fertility... we hope this episode is a useful tool. You can find out more about Ali's work at Avenues here: https://avenues.life/ Follow @avenues.life on Instagram Follow us on Instagram:@shouldideletethat@em_clarkson@alexlight_ldnShould I Delete That is produced by Faye LawrenceStudio Manager: Dex RoyVideo Editor: Celia GomezSocial Media Manager: Sarah EnglishMusic: Alex Andrew
