The opportunities “being keen” opened up for her
Aching for distant places
How she ended up moving to San Francisco in the 90s
The power of wanting something (and seeing it come about)
Where she goes in NYC to get her Northern Irish fix
Advice she’d give to her 22-year-old self
And the radical transformation she’s seen take place in NI
