In Cymru & I nine new writers look at what Wales means to them as people from backgrounds previously largely underrepresented. Their various viewpoints make this book a new look at Wales, or show a Wales for the most part hidden: a Wales unwritten. Here are essays on identity, integration, the power of language to welcome or divide, acceptance, personal aspiration, civic decline, and hill walking. Wales is the first official Nation of Sanctuary. Among the contributors are those who have sought sanctuary and space in Wales: immigrants – current and first or second generation – neurodivergent, LGBTQ+ and working class people. Their compelling essays demand attention.
Cymru & I is made of nine very human stories about Wales and the many different kinds of Welshness it encompasses. The contributors are: Gosia Buzzanca, Tia-zakura Camilleri, Kelechi Ronald Ikpe, Mo Jannah, Bethany Mcaulay, Laura Mochan, Debowale Omole, Alys Roberts and Anthony Shapland.
Inclusive Journalism Cymru
Inclusive Journalism Cymru is a network which connects, supports and campaigns for those who’ve been marginalised or excluded by the journalism industry in Wales. Together they aim to build a fairer, safer and more representative sector that confronts prejudice and discrimination by telling stories which reflect diverse perspectives, rebuild trust and help reclaim journalism for everyone.
Our partnership with Inclusive Journalism Cymru resulted in Cymru and I, which features essays by nine Inclusive Journalism Cymru members: Gosia Buzzanca, Tia-zakura Camilleri, Kelechi Ronald Ikpe, Mo Jannah, Bethany Mcaulay, Laura Mochan, Debowale Omole, Alys Roberts and Anthony Shapland.
‘…an inclusive, honest, and eloquent contribution to a wider conversation taking place socially in Wales.’
