@signor_piccolo Well, we didn’t have an official translation for “Black author” until we rendered it as AwDuron (capital D).
When Welsh language didn’t create space for Black writers, us translators decided to innovate & create that needed space. @JDunrod

How can you dispare at what you made effort to improve?
How many Black authors from Wales have you published?
Why haven’t you called out those responsible?

20+ yrs in the business & only now you want to call this out?

VERY late to the party Miss Jerome https://t.co/E1F4LA7mD8

Yet the year before the objective was just to make that massive sale for the publishing house, “a book for every child”… no mention of Representing us tho…funny that
