Welcome to Lydia’s house, which is based on a story told by neighbour storyteller Lydia Lutudi. Our creative family living in this house is Lydia Lutudi, Gayle Chong Kwan and TK Hay.
Lydia was born in a busy city in North Carolina, America to a Congolese father and Indigenous American mother. Lydia is a funk and rock singer/songwriter, artist and founder of ‘The I Love Me Project’ which supports, educates and empowers primarily young people aged 13-25 that struggle with confidence, self esteem and self worth through workshops and events. When not singing Lydia loves to cook and socialise. You can find Lydia on Instagram and Facebook.
Gayle is a British artist, born in Edinburgh to a Chinese Mauritian Dad and Scottish Mum.
