    Janine Walker recorded on 02/05/2024

    Janine Walker reflects on her childhood dreams of becoming a lawyer or FBI agent, influenced by TV shows and movies like 'Ally McBeal' and a film about FBI agents. It is called FEDS and it's from 1988.

    Janine didn’t pursue these careers but found fulfilment in the arts, volunteering for Leeds Children's Theatre where she directs, choreographs, and leads workshops.

    Janine also co-organize a Twitter-based Christmas book swap inspired by Icelandic traditions, which has grown significantly, connecting people around the world.

    Janine has transitioned from a long-term banking job to becoming a debt advisor at Christians Against Poverty (CAP), fuelled by a desire to help others and leveraging her finance background to help others. Janine discuss the challenges and rewards of this role, CAP's holistic support approach, and its environmentally conscious practices. She also touches on societal issues like child poverty, inadequate financial literacy, and the importance of community initiatives for financial stability.
