Gemma Cairney

Gemma Cairney is a British broadcaster and published author that has explored the intersections of the activism and creativity that is in her DNA since training in Theatre at the start of noughties at a non-fee paying school for The Performing Arts (BRIT School)...

Decades later, her CV is expansive, from honing her craft in live radio for years hosting daily shows at the BBC to using her voice for global campaigns, founding a boutique production company and writing published books on subjects that explore humanity, arts and culture.

Gemma's new book, The Immortal Sisterhood, will be published in 2026 and is a compelling literary  exploration of the interconnected lives of 12 remarkable women throughout history. Part memoir, part biography, the book delves into the purpose, process, and works of some of the world’s most inspiring women (including uprising rebel Nanny of the Maroons, more-than-a-muse ~ Jeanne Duval, astronomer and protesting poet ~ Wang Zhenyi, cherished academic and writer Audre Lorde, visual artist and occultist ~ Pamela Coleman Smith, funk queen  of the hive ~Betty Davis and more).
