This month: Scottish Black Writers Group live and in person!
Scottish Black Writers Group is a writers group facilitated by Titilayo Farukuoye. It is a monthly event open to writers across the UK and Ireland who are Black/from the African diaspora, including people of mixed heritage.
Scottish Black Writers Group is a space to meet, chat, network and talk about the writing life – writers both published and unpublished are welcome to join us.
This month: SBWG live and in person!
For May’s Scottish Black Writer’s Group Dean Atta has invited us to join his writer’s talk which he is headlining with along side Janette Ayachi and Kayo Chingonyi – two other brilliant Black British Writers. This event runs from 6:30-7:30pm.
Kayo Chingonyi, who is bringing the poets together at Mitchell Library for the Aye Write Festival describes the group of poets as “his dream mixtape featuring a cross-generational span of well-known and new poets extending and inhabiting the spirits of the ancestors”.
