Silky: On Fear with Mica Montana

Published: Feb. 9, 2021, 8 a.m.

In this episode I chat with Mica on all things fear when it comes to putting ourselves out there in our crafts and careers.

Mica (that's Mee-sha) Montana Gray is a Poet, Workshop Facilitator and aspiring Clinical Psychologist based in Birmingham. She currently works part time as an Applied Research Psychologist and has previously worked as an Assistant Psychologist in children's mental health services. She has completed an undergraduate degree in Philosophy and Psychology and a Masters in Cognitive Neuroscience in 2017.

While completing her undergraduate degree, she had an experience of depression and drug induced psychosis which resulted in a hospital admission. This experience birthed the poetry collection 'when daisies talk' which was self-published in March 2019.

She also writes a personal blog sharing stories on navigating career, relationships, personhood and faith.
