Audrey Hall is an award-winning arts creative, producer, presenter, and one of the northwest’s most established mainstream Black journalists. With over two decades of experience in the creative industry, she has built a reputation as a powerful advocate for underrepresented voices in the arts.
Having worked in mainstream TV and radio for the likes of BBC, ITN and C4, Audrey left the BBC following a diagnosis of MS, and pivoted into becoming Publications Manager for Cooperative Financial Services, picking up industry awards along the way. As a respected independent voice, Audrey brings unique perspectives on Black reality while promoting Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) through meaningful dialogue and expertise from significant, multi-racial, intergenerational practitioners and artistic creatives.
Known for her authentic approach and unwavering commitment to amplifying marginalized voices, Audrey has consistently broken barriers throughout her career. Her work spans radio broadcasting, podcasting, event production, and community organising, all with the common thread of creating platforms where diverse stories can be heard and celebrated.
A keen lover of the arts, music is the soundtrack to her life. Audrey’s granddad, a double bassist, led a 5 piece combo in Jamaica in Errol Flynn’s Navy Island times, and with her mother a Jazz singer of some repute, it’s no wonder Audrey has become a modest expert in MOBO, and especially JazzyVibes. And fused with music, expert Storyteller Audrey has developed compelling narratives that resonate with listeners and foster community engagement, to a groove.
Audrey’s story is one of survival and hope – a ‘Journey of Resilience, turning Pain and Passion into Purpose and Action’. There is pain, loss and debilitation, but she is on a mission for inclusion and respect and understanding for who we are and for what we bring to this multi-cultural, inter racial, blended family, reality of life, society and culture in Britain today.
