JORDAN GRAY QUIZZES HER FORMER VOICE UK COACH PALOMA FAITH ON MOTHERHOOD, THE ARCHITECT, AND WHY RELATIONSHIPS ARE A BIT LIKE PIES
PALOMA FAITH
“Mention the phrase ‘genderneutral’ and the world falls apart”
Being around Paloma Faith, one is enriched with the feeling that everything is going to be alright. She is undeterred by rejection. She is not dissuaded by intimidation. Her art is self-aware. Her politics are self-evident.
We were talking once backstage about the #AllLivesMatter backlash to the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Paloma told me: “If your kitchen’s on fire, you don’t throw water on the whole house… Of course all lives matter – but this is what’s happening right now.”
Paloma upholds a common sense approach to equality. The golden rule of reciprocity? “Do unto others”, etc. Job done. A proud feminist and passionate LGBT+ ally, Paloma is one of those active activists that actually actively acts – and always has been. Literally protesting from the seat of her pram, Paloma is a secondgeneration revolutionary, attributing her passion for social justice to her mother Pam.
