“This is a mixed race, Jamaican-Cypriot queer person telling you this story!” - S3E2 with Dean Atta
Update: 2023-03-05
Description
In this episode, I am joined by Dean Atta. Dean is a highly acclaimed British author and poet. Dean tells me about navigating his Cypriot, Jamaican and queer identity, the impact of a grandparent's love, finding heritage through queer Cypriot spaces and how writing about his roots affirms his identity. We also discuss Dean’s most recent collection "There Is (Still) Love Here", which is a compelling and powerful exploration of relationships, love and loss; encompassing LGBTQ+ and Black history, Greek Cypriot heritage, pride, identity and belonging.
