As her show, Look At Me, hits London, she told us about the process of creating it, about breaking down barriers with comedy, and about that Protein World ad. Firstly, tell us a bit about the show? ‘Look At Me’ is a docu-comedy - a documentary mixed with comedy - all about whether what we appear to be...
By Robert Sun In speaking before many groups of educators, in cities across the nation, I often hear that one of the biggest challenges facing schools today is how to consistently engage and motivate children to learn.
