Wales is no longer struggling to survive, but fighting to be an ambitious, innovative, and inclusive nation.
Clinging to the “brittle relics” of the past will only prevent it from achieving those aims

(3/4) I speak to Gwenda, a resident of Capel Dewi for over 30 years, about her concerns around the declining no. of young people & Welsh speakers who remain in the village.
I even meet the man behind the renovation for a tour of the newly-refurbished property!
I found that colleges have “actively discouraged” students from reporting serious sexual assault allegations to the police.
Another victim felt that the university’s reporting body, OSCCA, was misrepresented to her as an equivalent process to a police investigation.

this morning about the situation of women in Afghanistan following the Taliban’s ban on higher education.
Discussed the response of international community, the context of the ban and the heartbreaking impact it will have on women.
(2/4) I visited Capel Dewi, a rural village in West Wales where my ancestors come from. My aunt Lucy was the last person to run the village shop and post office in its original site.
Recently, the site was bought, renovated & renamed. It went back on the market for over £500k.
