Charlie Blair: bringing hip-hop to care homes!

Charlie Blair: bringing hip-hop to care homes!

By Jimmy McLoughlin OBE

Our guest today is Charlie Blair who created The Blair Academy a social enterprise centred on healthy, happy ageing through hip hop dance.  When I started Jimmy’s Jobs, I did not expect we would be covering hip hop dancing for the eldery but the more I read about Charlie, the more impressed I was.  The Blair Academy is a culmination of Charlie's experiences as a hip-hop dancer, homeless teen, and caring for her own grandma. She has also featured on Natwest's WISE100 list, celebrating top female social entrepreneurs in the country.  Subscribe so you don't miss any new episodes, releasing every Wednesday.
