This week, we sat down with Artist and Financial Director, Nissrine Shuman. She is a professionally trained dancer who has both CPA and ACCA designations with over a decade worth of experience working in creative industries. She provides financial stewardship and helps create a bridge between artists and the finance world. 

Have you asked yourself the following questions: Do you consider yourself to be a starving artist? Are you guilty of accepting low or no wages just to have a specific name or brand on your resumé? Or are you an instructor at a dance studio and wondered why you’re not entitled to certain government perks like holiday, overtime or vacation pay? 

In her episode, we talk about the difference between being an Employee and an Independent Contractor, the importance of Financial Literacy and why you need it to survive in a capitalist society, and what is the most valuable commodity a dancer possesses.
