I’m a columnist for Golwg magazine, and my first creative autobiography, Y Delyn Aur, was published by Gwasg y Bwthyn in November 2023. Its sequel, Paradwys Coll, was published in October 2025.
I believe that representation in our literature is important, and in these books I examine my mixed-race, multi-cultural and religious identity while tracing my family history in Ireland and Barbados.
I have a son and two daughters, and it’s exciting to rediscover literature for children and young people by reading to them, or, increasingly, by them reading to me!
I am passionate about reading and consider it an honour to be one of the adjudicators for this year’s Tir na n-Og Awards. I look forward to immersing myself in Wales’ best children’s and young people’s literature.
