We had the privilege to speak to Cilla Baynes OBE, a long standing leader in the arts and culture world in Manchester and Rochdale, co-founder of Community Arts North West.  And Bushra Sultana an artist, arts facilitator and teacher who freelances for Touchstones, HOME Mcr and Manchester International Festival. 

They talk about how they progressed through their brilliant careers, and how their childhoods influenced their development.
