Powerful! via Hollie Poetry 💞 "British poet Holly McNish’s incredible spoken word poem, “Embarrassed,” attacks everything from aggressive formula marketing to the double standard of anti-breastfeeding discrimination in a world of “billboards covered in tits.” Massive chills and tears in my eyes." @dorideer | L.R.Knost - Little Hearts/Gentle Parenting Resources

Hollie McNish is a poet who tours the country performing her poems. She says the whole of the UK is full of amazing theatres and bookshops. I love Hollie's writing, the way she looks at motherhood, and how she always stand up for her small person, which I feel is empowering for them both. I was delighted when she offered to read one of my favourite poems of hers during our chat. Hollie told me how she books her own gigs, which impresses me a lot. She said that she loves travelling around Britain
