@DannyNunziata @CSULB @calstate Thank you Daniele and the rest of the panel, you all held such a safe space for us all. A much needed space, to explore the Cypriot identity and unfold our rich layers. The conversations were both gripping and powerful. Dad and I both enjoyed our Sunday! Bravo!

Dixon’s observations on what is a Cypriot.

[Exploring Cypriot Identity @CypriotIdentity]

From William Hepworth Dixon’s British Cyprus published in 1879.

[From Root To Vine Podcast 🇨🇾 @RootToVinePod]

@Anthony1983 made a fascinating statement about the legacy of colonialism and how Cypriots have internalised British confusion about our identity - this was very poignant and has stayed with me. A true 💡 moment!
