A podcast series cohosted by Mission’s founder Karina Givargisoff, and singer song writer of the UK band Texas, Sharleen Spiteri.
Daughter of Paul and Linda McCartney, Mary McCartney is an accomplished photographer and filmmaker. When she’s not taking portraits she’s advocating for the environment and a vegetarian lifestyle. Alongside her father Paul and sister Stella, the three launched Meat Free Mondays, a non-profit organization which aims to raise awareness about the environmental determinants of animal agriculture and industrial fishing. Mary is also an ambassador and global advisor for Green Monday.
Hosts Sharleen Spiteri and Karina Givargisoff got the chance to (virtually) sit down and have a chat with Mary about family life and her creative process. The photographer talks to us about everything from horseback riding as a kid in Scotland to how she is finding meaning during this time in isolation. We also got to hear about the various photography and cook books she’s published over the years. Tune in for inspiring words about food, art and friendship from innovator Mary McCartney.
