My research revolved around children and the impact of COVID on their health, schooling and wellbeing and so working with children to create song lyrics, dance and ultimately the video was both empowering for them and an absolute delight for me. A PhD can frequently be overwhelming and this opportunity allowed my supervisors, colleagues and I to relax and have a little bit of fun.
