The point of writing is so that you donโt have to speak! ๐ but as a writer, you do have to tak about your work. #barelit #barelit19
Marcelle Akita on how as an โotherโ teen you sometimes need to belittle yourself and your culture in order to fit in. Even with others from Africa, there is an othering within the community with stereotypes based on countries.

.@athenakugblenu โIโve got to talk about myself because itโs a literary festival - I canโt just tell jokesโ #BareLit19 #barelit #alljokesaside
Tasha Suri did English & Creative Writing at uni but thinks itโs not a prerequisite to actually writing. No one knew she was writing until she had an agent. It was not something she talked about, but the agent validated her.

Micah Yongo talking about depression and how writing about it led him to start Lost Godsโneeding something in the page to destroy it. Writing was always a proclivity, where his reports were too flowery #barelit

I highly recommend #BareLit - it's a vital festival for many reasons; countering the marginalisation of writers/POC is just one of them. The battle for representation is fought on many fronts & the fact that producers of colour are leading it is huge plus the QUALITY is amazing
A 2015 study found that at Britain's 3 largest literary festivals 96% of writers were white.
So. We set up our own.
Its in 2 weeks!- panels, performances,workshops, sessions for kids & much more.
4-5 May, London
